to get to the front of the line. all life is worth healing to a normal Doctor, but in the US it's about money, so Doctors will serve money first.
Outside of their OT day dreams, posters shouldn't concern themselves about wealth medicine.

You don't know what the frick you're talking about. There is no "line" for what he had done.

I didn't open your links, but from your quotes, unless I misread, I only see studies regarding U.S. doctors. How do they compare with doctors similarly situated in other parts of the world?
Additionally, did you consider the possibility that it may be more difficult to get into medical schools in the US, that generally only the most qualified applicants are accepted and thus the school has a vested interest in retaining students who they enroll?
Moreover, what does the attrition rate have to do with the quality of training and the doctors who graduate from the program? I'm sure the majority of prestigious professional schools in the U.S and the world for that matter also have low attrition rates.

My perfectly healthy 2 1/2 year old boy had a stomach virus and a US doctor caused him to suffer a severe cardiac arrest. They aren't that great.

One doctor might have screwed up so now all US doctors aren’t that great? Good lord.

How many QUALIFIED doctors do you think we'd have if it paid as much as a teacher? Because that's what would happen if we were to apply your belief system to the healthcare system.
Your take is absurdly naive and ignorant.

I have his name and I'd be happy to share it with you if you'd like him to look after your children. He's in his early 70's so he's well experienced.

No thanks. I know enough doctors.
How’s the old saying go? Young doctors and old lawyers.
ETA: You really don’t see the issue of judging all US doctors by something one doctor might have done wrong?

So how do you even know what a good system looks like? Have you ever experienced the healthcare system in other countries?

He was born in a hospital in Cameroon and treated by doctors in Cameroon the 1st year of his life. None of them managed to frick up.

Oh well shite. Your laughably small sample size proves that Cameroon doctors are better than US doctors.

So all US doctors are bad? And all Cameroonian doctors are better than all US doctors?

Isn’t OP is known troll? He’s the same guy who started a thread saying that they’re no real victims even in the cases of rape.

That wasn't the point I was trying to make. I'm simply saying that US doctors are not infallible.
Posted on 5/18/19 at 11:03 am to redstick13
Don’t back down now. You used your one bad experience with a US doctor to judge the entire US profession, and backed it up with “well the doctors in Cameroon” didn’t screw up.

My wife has told me plenty of stories of diabetic patients with amputations who fall into this category. Going as far as saying "Don't tell me how to treat my diabetes, I know what I am doing."

Of course not. That's ridiculous if you believe they are, but they are far more infallible than 99.9% of nations out there.
