See, killing the actual people in power instead of fellow plebs the powerful couldn't care less about, actually gives results!

This is why they've tried to spin the January 6 Boomer Tour into the darkest day in human history. Some poor congressstrags had to experience the tiniest amount of fear for once. I wish they'd all been Minecrafted in Roblox.

Anesthesiologists are like the biggest culprits of bullshit billing and don't get nearly enough hate.

DOGE will kill two birds with one stone and replace anesthesiologists with low cost and abundant fentanyl experts!

I don't think they're allowed to pull the "oh the hospital is in-network but I'm not so here's a bill for $1mil haha get fricked" shit anymore

But I agree they're still scum.

I'm going to assume this was an attempt to stop them going "oh yeah we spent 2 hours prepping and then another hour after for them going under for 3 minutes so I'm going to bill 3 1/2 hours".

Yeah probably. Doctors are generally greedy. For some reason people consider them altruistic and maybe that's true in other places where they get paid shit wages but absolutely not true here in the US.

Kinda like how lots of people act like teachers are super altruistic bc the job is "hard" and doesn't pay well, when in reality most teachers would be unable to get a job doing something else for the same (annualized) pay. Also why they have so much trouble getting STEM teachers, because anybody who knows what they're doing can just make money elsewhere, the ones left are the ones who couldn't perform.

Doctors have done a better job than almost any profession (aside from elevator repairmen) of placing arbitrary caps on their numbers to drive up salaries.

Heck, one of the principle causes of the current instability in South Korea is that their doctors have been striking for months because the government is trying to raise similar caps there.

"I would never have thought at that time that I needed security," Udow-Phillips said of her time at BlueCross. "Does this give permission to other people? It's terrifying."
