in medicine, inflation is not only increasing the cost of services but also the likelihood that you will be cared for by a non-physician "provider" such as a physician assistant.

these mid level providers are cheaper to train and work peripherally with docs but have a fraction of the training

I don't trust physicians either so I've trained part time under an MD, ND, and acupuncturist to help heal myself and my loved ones. Prevention is everything and very few MDs know whats up. They're taught to prescribe a pill à la Rockefellar medicine and the Flexner report.

Integrative and Functional Medicine Physicians ftw

Absolutely! I think we’ve seen the peak of all of the money we’ll ever see in medicine. We’re at the top and the top isn’t good. The only way to make it bigger is to print more. I just can’t imagine a world where someone who made 250k/year just keeps making more (to keep up with inflation) to eventually earn a million dollars a year. I just don’t think that’ll happen. The only way to change it (probably for the worse) is to corporatize it more, get rid of the talent, and put the decision making into the hands of “cheap” labor. Alternative is that the monetary system collapses and we end up in a universal government system (which would be horrible especially after all that happened during COVID). However, if we can fix the money we can fix medicine too and none of these bad alternatives may happen. It’s amazing what bitcoin will do for so many aspects of life.
