      We let Doctors - in the form of Medical School Admissions Boards - constrict the supply of doctors to keep it so they can make $350,000 per year working a three day week.

      They use out public universities to do this

      Why do we let them?

          Conversely their workplaces are owned by some of the scummiest companies on the planet, and pressured to do more and more with less and less every quarter.

          On top of incurring insane levels of medical debt.

            The real problem is the AMA which jealously controls residency spots. There’s a bunch of well trained doctors in the country who can’t get residency spots and can’t practice medicine.

                Surely AI will meet the need of additional surgeons, by training surgery robots to perform some surgeries?

                No, we’re in the timeline where AI is training to perfect customer service chatbots to deny you medical coverage.

                    Hey, that may also reduce the demand for surgeons.

                  They’re going to have a shortage of anyone with a brain because nobody with one would embark on a career in that economic and social cesspool.

                    I find a vision of the future where the US still exists in 2038 extremely depressing.

                        I was going to say, can you imagine the gauntlets they will be thrown down in 10+ years to have access to a surgeon?

                            Welcome to the News community!

                            Rules:

                            1. Be civil

                            Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


                            2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.

                            Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


                            3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

                            Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


                            4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.

                            Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


                            5. Only recent news is allowed.

                            Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

                            No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


                            7. No duplicate posts.

                            If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

                            Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


                            9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

                            All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


                            10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
