    Holy fucking shit. I knew stuff like this was happening. But this is just harrowing. This is why you don’t add middlemen into healthcare. They don’t have an oath.

      Corporate has already bought up most of your doctor’s clinics. This is why you get 15min, no more, your appointment is gone if you’re 5min late, and may even have a fee charged for missing/not being on time for an appointment. It’s leading to doctor burnout.

        If so, then oaths clearly aren’t enough. We need to empower doctors to have more ownership over medical decisions.

        This goes back to the heart of the issue of capitalism vs socialism: the people who have the actual expertise to do the actual work need to share in ownership over their work so that the work gets done properly. Doctors should be at the helm of the healthcare industry just like engineers should be at the helm of Boeing.

          They have these doctors signing off on shit to justify denying care. Oaths don’t mean shit. It’s just words if there are no consequences to breaking them.
