   My point is not that you are right under normal circumstances, just that when a provider acts in an unethical manner and lies to their patient, yes you can conceal the truth about what type of care you are providing. The provider lied when they told ...

   Not really such a good point. Some Caribbean med schools are accredited, and most of them do cost less. How do you make the determination that the AOA is less anti-competitive in its accreditation policies? Also, nobody ever said that the AMA was to ...

   They are still self governed accreditation processes that are designed to limit availablility and have been from the very start. I will direct you to my points on the Flexner report. Haven't heard any rebuttals to the inconsistencies there yet.

   I think that the medical profession places a lot of importance on titles. Most other professions have dropped the use of mister as a title. The medical profession still seems to perpetuate this sort of weird paternal requirement for respect of someon...

   Let's just examine your initial argument. You said that there is an accreditation process for medical schools. I agreed but said that it is an anticompetitive process. You implied that there was no accreditation process for nurse practitioner program...

   Here is the key to your whole argument, the PCP in your scenario lied to their patient and acted unethically. Are you saying that primary care physicians routinely lie to their patients about their mistakes? If that is the case, you are correct, pati...

   What you wrote is that the case had nothing to do with competition and consumer choice when in fact that is all it is about. The fact is that you don't ever really debunk anything. You simply say that it is untrue because it is contrary to your own o...

    Sure, they would agree accreditation is necessary, but not to the extent that the medical profession does it to limit competition. The AMA is the most anti-competitive group in the country. I don't know what you are talking about that my argument doe...

    Simple law of supply and demand. If there are fewer, it costs more.

    The truth is that these accreditation procedures for medical schools are specifically designed to limit competition and have done so since their inception. That could be one reason that the poor physicians graduate with so much student loan debt. But...

    I really don't think there need to be any changes in the current curriculum for nurse practitioners other than to simply make it more uniform across programs. I also would agree that requiring a doctoral degree doesn't add anything in terms of value ...

    What you all fail to acknowledge is that patients are never happy if you don't provide good care. Those two are definitely mutually exclusive. You can't do a poor job and make a patient happy.
