How to upgrade the health system?

Healthcare seems to be special in that there is high urgency and high quantity (of patients) and high quality of care / level of responsibility and rigor and of course understaffing, so it forces high workloads. Working in business is nowhere near the same workload even though you would think the market would create it.

The solutions are straightforward: increase health of the population through public health policies or other interventions, increase education of heathcare workers and staffing. Also reduce administrative burden (AI has helped with this; modernisation of journal systems and other tech could also help).

This is also where I resonate with Leo's criticism of capitalism. Why does a tech oligarch gains more than a healthcare worker who saves dozens of people's lives?

Doctors do gain a lot compared to other professions, that is true. But the cost is insane workload and a psychological price.

This is where capitalism is limping because the market doesn't necesarily take the most high standard, healthy, and concsious of decisions.

Tech oligarchs creating work places and providing value to other businesses. Of course not always.

To be join medicine school requires super high grades and that is why I didn’t go that route. Probably many people gave up on it because of the high entry point

The reason is because it is way more hard to find the root cause and solve it.

Its not hard to solve root causes, they are just paradigm locked.

A doctor will only learn if they personally suffer a health crisis and have to go thought the health care pipeline.

Give test that identify superficial things -> form conclusions on test results -> prescribe drugs or cut out organs.

Show contempt and fake humility to all new information. 

Yup. They just neglect the basics because of corruption. I said it is hard because it would take them more time and money.
