8. Medical schools have limited enrollment (thanks AMA) and have far more qualified
Edited on Mon Jul-16-07 08:45 PM by SharonAnn
applicants then they have openings. There's no way a "marginal brains" person would be considered a qualified applicant.

The number of medical school seats is artificially restricted. We don't produce enough doctors now, that's why you see so many foreign doctors in the United States. There are empty jobs to fill.

And, the medical/health care system isn't really a competition for the best. As a patient, it's hard to find out what the success rate is for a particular doctor or a particular hospital. There's a reason it's hard to find out. They don't the information easily available to the public.

These are "just the facts".

BTW, if you can't pay for the best, you won't get the best. Hope you've got lots of money!
