This is interesting. My son just finished his first year of med school in Ireland where they have a National Healthcare System. I’m going to send him this video.

Yes! Human error is dramatically underrated in impact on negative outcomes in many, many things.

We could actually make people healthier by not offering “chemistry set” food for them to eat.

Universe, we let go of the old system and allow heaven to come in.
Thanks 🙏 Love 💗

AI, self driving vehicles, quantum computing, etc. All big dreams. More like the next marketing buzzwords. Companies can’t even get Siri, Alexa, etc. to work, how good do you really think AI is going to be? Best to first define what you think AI is.

None of these dreams will happen. The real AI investment in healthcare will go into rcm and maximizing claims. Keeping and getting people healthy doesnt have nearly the same market cap. The fact is that medicine sold their profession out to private equity: nothing else matters until we truly restore a prohibitipn on the corporate practice of medicine (see United HG, prior authorization, etc).

Ignoring the elephant in the room. SAD.

Your profession is ruined. Affirmative action and DEI have destroyed this profession and there is no going back.
Patients are now being hurt at higher rates as “medical mistakes” and “discipline” cases amongst the DEI and affirmative action crowd surge.
