Doctors in America.
Acute Care (like fixing broken hips) = They’re the World’s Best. Absolutely.
Chronic Care (like obesity and diabetes) = They’re not the World’s Worst.
The problem lies in the fact that 75% of healthcare costs come from chronic issues. Are we tackling about 12% of our GDP with the best tools? If we think doctors are the best tools for treating chronic disease, we’ve got serious problems going forward.
I love that Australia is slowly, but surely, beginning to realise this.
