Doctors don't adjust how long they're trying to keep you alive based on your job title.
Doctors also don't believe that rich people are somehow immune to the psychological trauma of "you might have cancer → nvm all good → you might have cancer → nvm all good → you might have cancer → nvm all good."
- rKarpinski 1y agoThat might be true in a triage/ER context. Doesn't track when we are talking about a slow, years long chronic illness and someone who over the last 4 years has had personalized healthcare to the tune of 8 figures.
- sorcerer-mar 1y agoAs mentioned, it is not access to healthcare that determines PSA screening guidelines.
- rKarpinski 1y agoPSA is only one of several diagnostics that would have caught it at the level of care POTUS gets.
- unsupp0rted 1y ago> Doctors don't adjust how long they're trying to keep you alive based on your job title. Of course they do
- sorcerer-mar 1y agoHmm, must’ve just slipped past me when reviewing the medical guidelines that inform almost all of a doctor’s decision-making.
- unsupp0rted 1y agoDoctors are, unfortunately so far, people. And they're also gatekeepers to care. It's naive to think they don't discriminate on all sorts of factors outside the guidelines, for instance when treating fellow doctors. Not that they'll admit to it. I know doctors who won't even admit to it to themselves. But they still do it: they'll just call it by a different name or make up an outside reason.
- sorcerer-mar 1y agoUh huh… and how exactly does this demonstrate that Biden would’ve gotten PSA screening after 70 against the guidelines?
- fwip 1y agoIt would be cool if you would stop purposefully taking the stupidest possible interpretations of my posts.
- sorcerer-mar 1y agoOkay, then you tell me how having a personal physician means you certainly are getting PSA checked beyond 70 y/o. Lay out the logic step by step.
