Exactly, why can't I open an appendectomy kiosk at the mall!?!

  Because the consumer won't buy from you if you don't have a good track record. If a big company with a good brand name like Boeing or Airbus hired you for that, they might buy it. A company with reputation on the line will be more likely to invest in quality control than your local hospital (which usually refuses to publish any statistics or prices).

    But where does that track record come from? It sounds like you are now defending the protectionism your previous comment was decrying.

      Where does a typical carpenter, web developer, entreprenuer, hedge fund manager's reputation come from? Word of mouth from previous clients. In the beginning a company with needs hires you and your reputation builds over time. As I said above, I think Boeing does a fine job of minimizing errors. The AMA, teaching hospitals and local hospitals don't.
