Unfortunately my attitude is the only one that will actually help you fix things because I'm bringing you a sober view of what the situation is. And people much "better suited for it" who worked in inner city ER generally had even less rosy thoughts than I did, if you want to defer to "experts" it's hilarious you would think this is unusual takeaway and that my opinion wasn't formed in large part by the experts thinking the very same thing (which of course they are never going to tell to the patients, you're probably not going to hear it unless you actually work in an ER and are close and comfortable enough with doctors for them to risk themselves to tell you what they really think as it's totally unacceptable to say it publicly).

Sure, buddy. "Everyone thinks this way, they just don't say it" has been the rallying cry of people with bad minority opinions forever.

Nah I was just doing as you asked and deferred to the "experts" that outlasted me. Hilariously you indict your own argument and only reveal in it the very fallacies you would damn. And I'm well aware I'm unsuited for healthcare in the USA, because the policies are dominated by people with either a 5 year old's ideological view of reality or with the worst perverse industry interests to do regulatory capture in the USA, having worked in it I've realized it is the most disingenuous violent rent-seeking enterprise in existence here and very little of that has to do with the actual health care providers.

If you want instruction on why people are reluctant to point out the situation publicly, notice people (in a sister thread) start screaming bloody murder about "racism" and "because of my wife with cancer you lose" and it becomes obvious why no one is going to publicly give anything but the most gentle and populist message if they actually work in healthcare with their license on the line. Very few people are going to get fired, possibly have their license revoked, have a bunch of frivolous racism cases all to do the favor of having people understand why ERs are broken but then refuse to believe any of it.

I saw the thread. Nobody was "screaming bloody murder" lol, you were firmly (and correctly) taken to task for your opinions towards other human beings that you voluntarily shared in a public forum. I agreed with what they said and I thought it was more than fair. If you can't handle it, don't share.

Clearly I'm one of the few that's willing to "handle it." You should be thanking me, because few that have been there will take the heat to tell you the truth.

My ex worked in healthcare for years, I heard about life in the trenches plenty lol. Sorry bud, the problem is you. I wouldn't share this again, you do not come off as the good guy here.
