gcapu | 2 years ago | on: Why doctors in America earn so much

That doesn’t mean we have a market. I was billed $1000 for en ECG for example. I wouldn’t have paid for it. It’s a simple procedure that doesn’t require a genius or advanced equipment. I’d rather an immigrant with a foreign degree look at it for $80 than a licensed American doctor for $1000. I’m not allowed to do so. I can’t choose the quality of care I get.

There are insane controls on supply. It’s not a free market. Everyone has to choose a Ferrari treatment or not go to the doctor. There’s no budget option.

God points but:

1) For someone in BigCo it is fun to read.

2) BigCo is not a bad place for most people. Management should just shut up about efficiency and data driven. No one believes them, not even themselves.

I use it and I would be happy if Teams was able to do basic copy/paste. When you copy, it copies things you didn’t select and doesn’t copy some things you selected. When pasting, it auto-formats the text and does a terrible job at it. It’s a disaster. I hope the Teams team is forced to use Teams.

This publicity stunt is pretty funny! He "surrounded his potato patch at Sablons with armed guards during the day to suggest valuable goods, withdrawing them at night so people could steal the potatoes"

Someone my team either had a second job or quiet quit, but according to Jira he was really productive. The reported metrics can’t be trusted. The worst part is that our manager was the only one that didn’t figure it out.
