Disclaimer: I don't like most doctors, not all. I tend to think, like traders the majority of doctors are losers. Traders lose other people's wealth, doctors lose other people's health.
Healthcare costs are ridicoulously high and rising fast. Now the primary operators in this industry are: doctors. I think they are the number one cause of rising healcare costs.
- They tend to think they are entitled to make over million bucks a year for simply putting in an extra four years after college.
- They rarely say "I don't know" when they really don't know. Instead they prescribe unessary medicines, procedures, etc.
- When insurance companies and government (a form or insurance company) is picking up the tab, why not just screw em as much as possible.
- Rarely is any patient is worth more than 10 minutes of their time.
- Rarely do they mention nutrition or exercise and rarely do they look like they practice either one.
- Isn't medical malpractice now the number 2 cause of death in this country? I don't like lawyers and courts but in this case I think litigation is not the problem.
