This one hanging under the current top comment as an example:
"It's the same in the US, Italy, etc Doctors are a cartel receiving a monopoly from the State. That's all there is to it, really"
Forgetting the reasons (sure - it's all some grand program by the AMA et al to keep up current Physician pay) for a second thinking that if you can just churn them out like you do 'coders' with some quick program that doesn't require many many years of training and residency programs as well as hospitals and other infrastructure. And of course the cost to do all of this.
In almost typical HN fashion it's always a scam. Everyone else is getting away with being overpaid and undertaxed except top software engineers who of course deserve the pay they are getting.
The particular Physician in question is in Australia and is a surgeon. So you want to just be able to pluck people at random and give them a chance to be a surgeon as if there isn't something special that is required for that specialty.
Also, that Surgeon details some of his bad experiences but not how often that has happened. And doesn't even detail what he has done in terms of fixing it with the hospital administrators just continues to be a martyr getting beaten up by the system. Not claiming it's his job to try and get change at his hospital. But by the same token this idea that he has to do what he does or 'people will die' does not fly. Your own health and sanity is more important than that (as is your families).
