If you are in the US. It is more important to have the legal paperwork, than to be factually correct. The medical cartels always will get their cut.

- bpodgursky 4y agoEventually it's going to be cheap enough to drop by Tijuana for $5 MRI that even the cartel has to react. Also, even within the US framework, there's pressure. A radiologist can rubberstamp 10x as many reports with AI-assistance. That doesn't eliminate radiology, but it eliminates 90% of the radiologists we're training.

Billing is a legal thing, not a supply/demand thing. But yes, I fully plan to utilize travel medicine and potentially black market prescription drugs in my lifetime if there isnt meaningful reform for the middle/upper class.
- bpodgursky 4y agoOk but most medicine isn't emergency.
