With a little bit of lag time (school) we could have a metric fuckton of doctors. We have a metric fuckton of shitty lawyers. Doctors are artificially gated in the US

What’s the joke? “What do you call the person who graduated last in their class from med school? A doctor.”

Sure, I think that helps my point. You can't create "good" doctors out of thin air with money, just "more" doctors, and it takes forever.

Do we really need "good" doctors all of the time? I think the industry is overregulated to restrict the supply of healthcare.

Isn't that gap being filled nowadays with roles like nurse practitioners?

The optimal amount of bad doctors is not zero. But there is a point of "ChatGPT does a better job than this man does, and we're talking GPT-4o, not GPT-5 Pro". In which case we have a problem.

When a simple easy to make mistake will kill me, I'm pretty sure I want to have a good doctor all the time.

It’s funny how some people think shitty lawyers are good and some people think good lawyers are shitty, huh?
