MD here. I would agree with your analysis. What’s overlooked is the design of the system: we have a healthcare system designed for rescue care. Unfortunately, rescue care is expensive. Whether is treating a heart attack, or cancer, or diabetes, we have designed a system to pay for downstream outcomes rather than…

Probably. It's still exhilarating!

I 100% agree with you. It used to be so simple, clean, and fun. And the community was second to none. Honestly, I haven’t logged into my Flickr account in years. What a waste.

I heard this recently — maybe here? — and it holds true:

White guy here who happens to love Hillary! Just wanted to say ‘hi’!

Not only that, but when they refer out it implies that there is a provider who is managing that referral. In your case, and I hope things turned out well for you, but what if your ultrasound was abnormal?

Fantastic analysis. I’ve shared this with many people. Well done!
