@Sai_Ishaya_ This is why it’s hard to share some takes here. I’ll explain something that I have seen over and over from years of working with terabytes of healthcare data and someone will turn it to ‘gender war’, ‘my experience’.
Imagine getting a new cancer diagnosis and being told you can’t even start treatment for two months.
I can’t even imagine the agony in waiting
That’s what happens in the UK
It turns out calling healthcare a “right” doesn’t do much if you can’t actually treat cancer patients.
90th percentile of households in US that are millionaires are 45+
OP is looking at outlier cases by saying ‘we will probably be millionaires by now’ which is largely untrue because of his age.
@leyeConnect ‘A stitch away from 100%’
‘A particular group and nationality’
‘Completely rundown’
That’s his eyes doing analytics. Did he talk to the people there? Did he come back to validate? So many questions but still he came to a conclusion regardless.
if a doctor who graduated medical school says you need something, it should be illegal for someone sitting behind an insurance desk with absolutely zero medical training to deny you coverage...
The possibility of this is crazy. I know they used micro encapsulation to do this inside newspapers so if AI can do this, this has major medical use cases.
Imagine tracking improvement of halitosis, diabetes gangrene etc. This is major
@asemota This is why domain knowledge will always win.
Many companies (especially in healthcare and manufacturing) use walled garden softwares with 30 year old integrations that only 3 people can explain because documentation is useless.
Anthropic CEO Dario has said: “The signature of [AI] is it's going to take us to a world where we have very high GDP growth, and potentially also very high unemployment and inequality.”
@asemota Thank God for Internet and social media. Long before we concluded that there’re unprofessional/non-governmental ways to become wealthy, every seemingly rich person is a ritualist to poor people and the moment they get a chance, they want jungle justice for their ‘stolen destiny’.
Surgeons should get paid more but
Spine surgery average wheels in wheels out time is 4hours, average OR is $80/hr and that means:
OR charge: $80 * (60 * 4) = $19,200.00
Anesthesia charge
Multi day post-op charge
Readmission risk
Nurses charge
Devices charge
Won’t more money cause increase in healthcare cost? They also have ASC option
A surgeon I know recently operated on a man's spine.
Saved his mobility.
Saved his career.
Saved his marriage, probably.
The surgeon's take-home on that case, after the facility fee, anesthesia, device costs, payer discounts, and overhead, was $1,840.
The health system collected $64,000.
Ask yourself who the system thinks did the work.
@gimbakakanda I noticed that if you sound a little bit proud(not arrogant), humans respond better and favor you. I don’t understand why.
I once told a CFO that the company’s scheduling was inefficient and a mess. He signed a check for a consulting contract same day.
If your hospital have labs, you should take advantage. Let ChatGPT recommend 5 lab tests so they can pay and you can get more revenue. We cure madness with madness
