but software engineers 'pretty much' make at most in the early 6 figures and doctors 'pretty much' start there. i'd love to give customers max 15 minutes to tell me how they want their website only to tell them this is what they are going to get because its the standard of care.

why should a doctor care? they get paid weather you live or die. what happens to you basically has no bearing on their career. a doctor i know worked on a guy who was having chest pains but was 'diagnosed' with COPD. he was to be sent home, but that doctor refused to because of patient history: all 5 of his brothers died of a heart attack before 60. what would have happened to anyone there had he been sent home? nothing, just another heart attack death.

at least they got things right on brother #6 though.

in short, doctors have little incentive to pick up their game. the supply of doctors is kept short purposefully to ensure they make money++. Only way out of this mess is technology when people can finally take their health back into their own hands.

They'll rue the day they purposefully restricted the available supply of skilled physicians through limitations on residency programs when those pesky technology engineers perfect the doc-in-a-box.

Even worse is when some of those guys open source it and give away the software and hardware schematics, just because they hate giving $30 co-pays and dealing with deductibles, just to get an antibiotic prescription for a viral infection.

Don't make professional problem solvers see you as a problem, or you might just get solved.

Your post is a gold mine of potential points to attack but I'll save it and just focus on this:

>the supply of doctors is kept short purposefully to ensure they make money++

No. It's costly to train them, and it's hard for an average person to afford.
