Can you expand on potential future medical disciplines and what specialties you think are going to be replaced?

That sound pretty good to me! Can you tell me about the salary range of those MD/PhDs doing research and about the cut such an institution gets? I'm asking I'm guessing the hours that your institution are sane (read: 9-5ish)? Thanks a bunch.

Thanks for your input. Regarding insurance companies and healthcare administration, I don't think those are problems to be solved by MDs or even PhDs but rather issues to be solved by already existing tech automation companies in coordination with legal experts. You mentioned radiation oncology is a dying field. Could you elaborate on the future of the various specialties (maybe top/bottom 3) as far as you can tell?

Thank you for your reply. Would you be so kind to elaborate on what you do for a living as well as in what capacity you work with MDs? Frey and Osborne (2013) published a paper that indicates how likely certain professions are to computerization. You can find it here:

However they didn't elaborate on the various medical specialties. Do you happen to have any information on that?

From what I hear MD/PhDs do research about 10-20% of their time, while they spend the remainder on treating patients. I'm afraid very few hospitals/practices would be willing to let me work only 3 days a week so I can work on a tech company on the side. I'd think maybe I could do some consulting but that's it; I don't think there would be time to pursue outright entrepreneurship.

This chart is at the very least incomplete and inaccurate if not blatantly false. To accuse Iran of cooperating with Al Qaeda while claiming that Saudi Arabia does not is audacious. Saudi Arabia spreads the most violent branch of Islam (Wahhabism/Salafism) through indoctrination as well as direct funding for terrorism. Just look at the perpetrators of 9/11, all of whom were Sunni Arabs, most of them from Saudi Arabia. The same goes for Qatar, which is missing in the chart. Hamas and Iran broke up because the former (Sunni) joined the fight against the Syria government, which is supported by Iran. Iran is neither Sunni nor Arab, groups like Al Qaeda and ISIS would love to commit genocide against Iranians. They don't have any real allies and have propped up a few Shia proxies in Iraq and the Levant. Others are missing, like the Kurds, so is the the link to Central/South Asia as well, i.e. AfPak. Without Pakistan Al Qaeda and the Taliban could have not existed. It should be noted that the Pakistani government and military are bought and paid for by the Arab states in the Persian Gulf, where Pakistani mercenaries protect the Monarchs from their civilian population, Bahrain being a notable example: the majority of Bahrainis are Shia and they are naturally friendly with Iran/Iraq. Their government, however, is run by the same kind of Sunnis that control countries like Kuwait and the UAE.

The worst part about this whole ordeal (other than 200+ people disappearing, of course) seems to be that all sorts of people are getting airtime now that they otherwise wouldn't get while spreading their far-fetched theories.

Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard

Zuck: Just ask

Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS

[Redacted Friend's Name]: What? How'd you manage that one?

Zuck: People just submitted it.

Zuck: I don't know why.

Did Amazon Prime previously operate on a loss or are they just trying to make more money since it has gained enough momentum?
