You're neurosurgeon scenario is interesting because healthcare is the one industry where there are proven models where we can deskill jobs and by this create many good jobs for people with less training.
One example is that of minute clinics where nurses + computers are doing the job of a physician.It's cheaper , it's a good job and the nurses can afford more time per patient , so this creates more jobs. And the u.s. don't steal doctors from the this world this way , which is nice.
There is/could be plenty of stuff like that in healthcare.
- notdrunkatall 14y agoGood point, but you should proofread before you post.
- stephencanon 14y agoWill you allow a nurse + computer to perform an emergency craniotomy (a very simple neurosurgical procedure) on your spouse? Large parts of the healthcare industry can be deskilled as you describe. Actual neurosurgery might not be so easy.
- flyinRyan 14y agoDid you think about this at all before responding? The majority of health care is routine stuff that a nurse + computer can easily do. The nurse+computer combo can also determine if the issue is beyond their skill level. Why are we wasting valuable doctor time with routine issues? That's not an efficient use of anything.
