@DrLKVaughan I think it is much simpler than this. They are public sector employees, considered nearly impossible to sack, and the taxpayer foots the bill. You don’t tend to find this on the right in US politics.
@DrLKVaughan IMO the govt controlling the financial strings will at least provide some element of pressure on the colleges unlike the monopoly cartel they run as atm, forcing trainees to be members in order to access portfolios.
@LBC The report says the exact opposite. That “natural birth” was pushed at the expense of patient care. You would think she would have read the report before pushing her ideological point of view. She doubles down on the agenda that was identified as a cause!
@DrAdamBat More nuanced take. New imaging modalities are great and they should be applauded for producing this with a team of 9(!). People jumping on that to state people should have these devices in their house and scan themselves every day/week is where some of the skepticism came in?
@PrinceVogel I think both sides of this argument have been pretty high on condescension.
The argument will be solved when the data comes out showing the impact it’s had; I hope it’s a positive one.
@anshulkundaje Exactly! Not sure why medical community and tech bros going to war with each other on this: one side saying the other is stupid, and the other morally bankrupt. The tech will either work or it won’t - we should all hope it does!
