Are managers of doctors saying ridiculous things like you need to only seem patients 30 and up this week, or your not diagnosing enough strep throat.

  Assuming there is an analogue between a very clinical and technical field like development and an incredibly volatile and human field like medicine is futile. They don't have many of the same problems we do Instead they have to force doctors to break bad news to patients' relatives or do it themselves, get signatures from both parties for procedures, coordinate in/out patient streams, listen to doctors demand equipment and medicines and face upper management denying them their requests and tons of other such bullshit. Medical insurance and its intricacies is a whole big ball game that they have to constantly play with so that's fun

  I have plenty of friends in the medical field and yes you hear stuff like this all the time. “Thirty and up” because maybe there is an underserved community. “Not diagnosing enough strep throat” because maybe there is a recently discovered epidemic and doctors hadn’t been testing for that. People who have a high level view can direct the folks down in the trenches quite productively.

    > People who have a high level view can direct the folks down in the trenches quite productively. This shouldn't be middle managers. technical leader is better for that or most senior on the team. An actual leader on the team.
