In France, when I go to the hospital, I get what I suspect Americans would describe as a war hospital. No separation between indoors and outdoors, blood from previous patients dragged several meters, cops in front of the doors of the surgery room (probably the same cops who did a homelessness “maraude” the same night). It takes 6hrs no matter your problem (saw a guy with a finger cut, 6hrs too) (omg saw an elderly couple whose husband was suddenly deaf, as in, probably a cerebral attack, and they WENT HOME because they couldn’t lie anywhere. Without seeing a doc. I was heartwrenched).
Let me guess, are American hospitals a bit cleaner? Are nurses underpaid? Are doctors underpaid like in France, as in, a webdeveloper earns more than a doctor?
- bentt 3y agoOur problems are different, you're right. What you're describing is probably closer to what publicly funded schools in the US have become, in terms of deviation from base expectations. But no, there is almost no such thing as a doctor who doesn't get paid in the US, and definitely no such thing as a hospital or insurance executive that doesn't get paid.
