medication?
yeah
But its not an every day cough
But i have ir on my medical file
yeah I get you, was wondering what had been tried though
it makes sense that asthma medication would help
possibly
Yeah it relaxes the broncules things in your air sacs that allows them to deconstruct
Deconstrict
I just know that no matter how many documents you have for it they will still ask you to see their specialists
And wait lists are months long.
yeah its one of those things unfortunately
persistent cough
the US is so much more litigous in its medical culture as well
that these people are essentially forced to go through with unnecessary referrals etc.
Yeah. And on top of that you can't have a doctor who knows you by name anymore.
how come?
my fiance does medical malpractice litigation and has a lot of really interesting insights into this field
she's really pessimistic too
doctors don't know you by name because general practitioners are dying out and the field is fracturing into nothing but specialist doctors who see endless patients
I've had the same dentist for the last 15 years and she's retiring soon.
I'm worried about going to a dentist with commercial advertisements.
I see I thought it may have been something legislative so was taken aback
yeah this specialist thing extends beyond medicine
into science, into many fields, honestly just in general as well even in seemingly unrelated stuff
compartmentalization, cocooning
in the US, some people can justify it
Im glad im figuring this shit out at 19 rather than later in life.
like I know of one surgeon who does like 300 laparascopic (cameras + minimal access) kidney removals
when you have a workload like that, it's fine if it's pretty much all you do
but you have someone sitting in the UK instead, he won't be doing nearly as much
but will nevertheless be stuck in that narrow area due to the way the system is
yeah I think you're doing pretty good for 19
Like ive had full on discussions with my parents and irs so different
It's partially and indirectly legislative in the US. pan-agency regulations on the field heavily favor the transition to specialist medicine and gigantic health conglomerates over the traditional "town doctor" kind of model. The same is true with law and many other fields as you point out. The impetus has been there for decades - the results are just becoming really clear
what have your discussions been about, Isaac
Mostly the future of america and the riots.
I knew if I ever burned a flag of any kind my parents would whip me up and down the street.
But we also talk about how the majority of the time that the most violent ones are the ones with least to argue with.
