Fair. But what if ppl instead got scans in "radiology shops" without waiting for a specialist? Specialists are expensive.

- SketchySeaBeast 1y agoIsn't that 90% of going to get scan is right now? You'll still need the "shop" to provide the equipment and the tech with the training to know what/where to scan, but you might get the results a bit faster? Are the radiologists the chokepoint now, or is it the techs?
- eitally 1y agoThat's the way it already works in many cases, just like with outpatient surgery clinics and other outpatient specialist practices. There is a critical difference, though, because radiology also has sub-specialities and someone focused on orthopedics probably isn't the one you'd want reading your cardiology images, nor would you want your ophthalmologic radiologist trying to diagnose a brain CT.
