U.S. medical schools aren’t teaching future doctors about 7.4 million of their patients

  • I work in medicine. Seeing how doctors treat patients is eye-opening. On one hand really good doctors listen to what their patients say and try to find the best solution that the patients would like (after all, if they didn't like it they wouldn't follow through, which is even more dangerous sometimes!). Bad ones just prescribe a medicine and move on.

    I think the reason this is becoming more and more common is because people keep pushing doctors to be more and more "efficient" per patient (spending the least amount of time per patient for profit). If we didn't have that, these events would be more rare.

    What’s the least amount of money that would significantly improve your life?

  • About $160k. That would be enough for me to graduate med school or a Masters program (which also offered me scholarships) debt free with my current savings!
