Woah, hold on there, false dichotomy.
It's NOT a matter of "Infinite amount of time" vs "quantified expectations with reasonable trade-offs".
It's a matter of "a doctor putting in the time to be careful" vs "being pressured to take 2-5 minutes of to make LIFE-CHANGING medical decisions".
At the end of the day Cigna cares about hitting their numbers to squeeze every last drop of profit while the doctors are being forced to live with the possibility of making a grave mistake being rushed at "burger-flipper" (or "call-center") time scales.
I am on the side of the docs for this one.
- hermannj314 2y agoI didn't create a false dichotomy, you are doing the same thing as the article. You are setting absolutely no threshold for speed, except to "side with the docs" That implies your upper limit has no bounds either. I am not on either side, but this God worship of doctors in America is sickening.
