I used to think the software industry was broken because seeing from the inside it's obvious that the vast majority of programmers have no idea what they are doing.
Then as I looked at the rest of the world, it started to become clear to me that all industries are broken in the same way. Medicine is no exception.
> My brother just got prescribed anti-depressants this week. All the doctor did was give him the standard DSM “are you depressed” test. His score was barely on the depressed spectrum and so the doctor gave the standard dose. “See you a month from now, call me if you feel like killing yourself.”
> No probing questions about why he might be depressed. No questions about past his past experiences with seasonal depression in Michigan where he lives. No other alternative remedies. Just a prescription, next patient please.
That's really sickening.
