@Meaningness US medical culture is in large part a genuine cult created by an insane cocaine addict, William Halsted.

@St_Rev Interesting, didn't know about him... I've worked in pharma research, and I've dated several nurses, so I've seen this stuff upclose -
@Meaningness Sorry, 24-hour (and until recently 36-hour) shifts, because cocaine. -
@St_Rev interesting to see a bunch of lame justifications for status quo in the comments on the medical accountability piece. -
@Meaningness To be fair, in a line of business like that, it's probably necessary. -
@St_Rev Mumph. The business must change, if so. I hope the overload of dying boomers will force reform, but maybe that's too optimistic. -
@Meaningness Yeah, I don't mean the broken methods are necessary, just ego barrier in work where you are guaranteed to kill people.
