Most efficient way maybe locking you in the room without anyone and anything close to inspiring ideas unless you clean the room yourself ! <| sep |> Most of what you say is not even half true . As a doctor allow me to explain . Firstly , yes our medicine and procedures are often top of the innovation and expense . Secondly , Doctors expect to make a lot because a in general people in the US make a lot more than Europeans . Most of my engineering friends with 4 years degrees are making lowmid 6 figures . A PCP barely makes 180 k . This is why no one wants to be a PCP anymore . Imagine you enter a career , where it sounds great . But caveats . You don ' t matriculate until and average of 26 , and don ' t actually start your career as an attendingfull physician until 3235 . If you fail any boards , you are fucked . You will be saddled with 200300 thousand of debt . You will be working 60100 hour weeks with an average of 12 hour days for the rest of your career . You will be put under immense monetary and legal pressure , as well as a large amount of emotional distress . This is only after a full 1216 years of educationtraining . And then you are told how much of a rich fuck you are despite making around 180 k 300 kgood money either way of course . And any attempt to cut you is vastly supported . Does this sound too good to you ? Not really , and it is why most doctors are telling premeds to run away from the field . The premeds go to medical school , and then tell other premeds to run as well . c Universal healthcare would primarily eliminate PP physician salary , but most physicians wouldn ' t be affected significantly from today . d The actual quality is similar without a doubt . That said physicians in the US do a lot more research . A lot of top doctors in the world are in the US . It is not really confirmable whether that can be attributed to the trainingeducation of US doctors , or the individualistic competitive culture in US medicine . There are a lot of possiblities . The main difference in the US , if you need something in healthcare , you will get it ASAP . in a lot of other socialist countries , people do die because they have to wait . But what can you do , it is a function of the system as a whole .
