We just watched this documentary about a medical cock-up with not quite fatal consequences. It shows what happens when the medical system is controlled by the bean-counters and insurance companies. Maybe there’s more to the story, as the film was made by the patient’s son but it shows a system out of control. One tidbit - a single physician monitoring far over 100 (160?) ICU patients via a computer in a hotel.

I’d certainly be interested in hearing from some medical professionals (on both sides) who’ve seen this movie.

IANA medical.person. I watched it. It was heart wrenching. It’s the exact truth. I’ve seen similar things happen. In the most powerful country in the world you think we could solve this issue. :::sigh::::
