@GottaLaff You won't want to consult the doctors they produce. Medical schools have walked away from the traditional albeit now obsolete model yet have not embraced it's replacement, AI assisted practice. The current medical graduate is unfit having neither the traditional depth of knowledge nor the tools to access modern data. Lose lose in fact.

Wow!

@GottaLaff But wait...if it's free going forward what will all these DRs start saying they're overcharging my insurance for? And thus what is my insurance going to say they're not covering?

Una ricachona norteamericana acaba de donar mil millones de dólares a una escuela de medicina de Bronx.

Digan lo que quieran, pero la diferencia entre los ricos argentinos y los norteamericanos es muy palpable. Y se mide en dólares.

@GottaLaff Let's hope they don't train yet more of the currently obsolete model of physician. AI is coming and we need new types of clinician who will be comfortable being guided by it and who will provide better care as a consequence.

While wealthy men are lining their own pockets and foucus on acquiring power, Dr. Ruth Gottesman shows them how to use money to improve the lives of OTHERS.
She is my new hero. This gives me hope.

@MichelleRNCHPN But sadly, private money shouldn't be necessary. I am so glad though

This shows that it can be done- you can be a multi-millionaire and still be a decent, compassionate human being. Remarkable, really.
