Dear
@elonmusk, I wanted you to be aware of the racket that goes on in medicine.
To sum it up, here is a case example.
When I fix a distal radius bone fracture - 45 minutes to 1 hr of highly skilled intricate work:
1. Doctor makes 750.
2. Hardware I put in costs 3000 plus roughly 10 screws, each costing 100 bucks
3. The destributor of that hardware makes half on that hardware cost.
4. The manufacturer makes the other half
5. The hospital/ambulatory surgical center makes 6-7x what I make.
I took majority of the risk.
I went to school for 14 years, after high school.
Global period is 90 days during which, I make no money taking care of this patient.
I make no money waking up at night answering patient questions of varying significance, mostly, ones that have already been answered.
Tell me what dumbass will go into medicine now?
