I came here prepared to walk away from this article being reminded once again of Betteridge's Law[1], but then I got to thinking once I did finish it...
...decoupling certain aspects of healthcare from gigantic, expensive hospital systems may actually work for patients and medical care providers couldn't it? Article points out how we do to an extent already, and paints an interesting argument for why we could see more of it. I think I'm on the "want to see more of it", but unsure what the drawbacks would be aside how the expected parties would like to see those traditionally centralized services remain so.
I am not a medical professional, the article just got me thinking on the topic...which means, Betteridge be damned-if a piece of writing gets you thinking about something you wouldn't ordinarily think about, article succeeded.

- ZeroGravitas 9y agoFor those, like me, confused by this comment, the article's real title, which I guess was changed on HN after this comment is "Are Hospitals Becoming Obsolete?".
