He is still here and sleeping. I try a few f/u questions so fire away asap if you can.
He did say emergent care did not matter in socialized medicine. If you need open heart surgery and will die if you dont get it in a week, well….you will die. Regarding the drug reps, if he was in the US he would likely be taking full advantage of their assets. However, in many countries diagnoses and drugs are often determined by wikipedia which while a vast improvement over the past is still very lacking and a major downgrade from what we have here. I’m sure he will laugh about it. But still the fact is as problematic, expensive and imperfect as our system is, it remains far and away the best in the world. In many countries seeing a doctor is something most people simply have no access to.
