This suggests the healthcare equivalent of 'shrinkflation'. Can't get away with changing the price because everybody notices, (especially when it's free). So leave the price the same and just offer less in return.https://twitter.com/EL4JC/status/946747420750368768 …
Naturally. So are there particular new things we're now doing for patients which are contributing to this increasing group of sick people? Is it all about surviving heart attacks? Or is there more to the picture?

Across the board. For example my field was throat cancer patients. Many surviving, but never swallow again.

Interesting. I've no frame of reference for your field, but I wonder what role early diagnosis has played in some of these issues? Have you ever seen any of the Gilbert Welch material?https://twitter.com/C7RKY/status/931462246382886912 …

An issue in, eg, thyroid. These are mainly ~stage 3.

So are such pts really surviving longer, in your opinion? Or is it possible there's an inflationary effect on life expectancy because of early diagnosis?
-
Sadly, that is not an issue in head & neck cancer.

That sounds very clear. Too many important bits hanging around in that part of the anatomy?
