> "No one said the amount of radiology work would decrease" I was talking about number of scans analyzed, not time. In fact, the decrease in the amount of time it takes to do radiology work is exactly why they are now paid more. Everything in american medical care is about profit, hospitals love this new paradigm because they get to charge the same amount and do 5x as much work per radiologist. Since incentives between patients and providers arent aligned we've entered this hellscape where providers are constantly ordering radiology work that is completely unnecessary because the MBAs are pushing high margin stuff to the entire organization. I personally have many stories from my 2 doctor friends where the business forces them to overprescribe in the stupidest ways. It sucks that the whole thing is a racket and that Hinton couldnt see that but I dont think that makes him wrong about the long term future of the profession.
