I just finished my second family medicine rotation and it’s just so ass-backwards because if we could give them the medication they need, they won’t end up in hospitals/ICUs/long term care facilities/etc. The new medications are incredible drugs and can vastly improve the quality and quantity of life for patients with diseases like diabetes, heart failure, renal failure, and more…if the patients can afford them, which they frequently cannot.
Well, JD Vance thinks grandma and grandpa should be the solution to childcare, but that only works if they aren’t actively dying and need to be cared for themselves. I’m pretty sure the GOP also thinks that daughters-in-law and granddaughters should be doing the elder care for free as well, so I don’t really know how they expect that all to work.
(It’s not supposed to work. People are supposed to make rich people richer and then die, according to the GOP)
Oh so you’ve got a double dose of burnout, from overwork and trying to navigate the system. I’m sorry. What general region are you in? Wondering if we can somehow work together on getting universal passed?
I’m a third year medical student in the Midwest. I’m aiming to do my residency in Minnesota, either Emergency Med or Family Med because apparently I like doing social work and hate my sanity or something.
We’re not near, and you’re going to be quite overworked and under-rested, for quite some while. Trial by fire. Also plenty of data that can be used for arguing for a better system, should you decide to engage in moving that mountain, at some point. Wishing you all the best, and thanking you for taking valuable time to converse with me.
Yes it is. May I humbly recommend getting to know grant writers asap and well? Wishing you all the best in your endeavors; we need more medgremlins in our world.

How are we supposed to extract what’s left of their value unless they’re in said facilities?
Typing that out made me throw up in my mouth a bit.

It’s still good to know there’s other folks out there with a good head on their shoulders that are working towards a common goal. :)

Once I’m in residency, I will become very well acquainted with grant writers and social workers.
