I think that it’s possible some of them are tenuously enough moored to reality (they are republican politicians, after all) that what they get and what they believe are not really well-defined terms. They believe in raising money and getting re-elected, and everything else is yeah-whatever.

I forget to mention that the asshole doctor is ENT. While the County Exe is anesthesiologist. I’ve never had to go to an ear, nose and throat doctor, but I would assume that he’s understand that people are having to be placed on ventilators, and yeah that’s fucking serious.
Asshole doctor hasn’t come out as straight up Libertarian, but he sure do act like one.

Fucking Libertarians. Ayn Rand was a crank.

Nah, he’s an ENT. Now, if he were a critical care specialist or a pulmonologist, he would immediately understand about what’s going on to need a ventilator. ENTs can give sinus sprays to people with deviated septa. Or, have their audiologist do a hearing test for them. Maybe a tonsillectomy if he remembers it from his med school years.
Why does anyone think he’s a politician if he was happy or competent being a practicing doctor?
I’ve never had to use an ENT so wasn’t sure the range of their practice. But still having hospitals completely filled, having to transfer patients to other hospitals, plus add in running out of ventilators and respiratory therapists is probably not something one runs into every year. And, and, not in just one region, or even within the US. Again why do they ignore that this is a global pandemic? I’m going to have to start to insist that they answer that teeny tiny simple question.

I get it – My doc (Internal Medicine) hates her job, and will only stick with it until her son gets through college. That will be 6-8 years from now. She hates the whole “health care system.” She says docs don’t get to treat patients any more. They just do “disease management.” And have 20 minutes to do it. What a waste of good training and bright and compassionate people.

Agreed. We’ll just wind up going around in circles : - )
During the obamacare congressional debates the gop thought they had a winner, bringing in Ontario’s (canada) head of the province’s health care system. In response to the question, doesn’t your health care system discourage doctors from the profession, her response was something along the lines of hell no, our biggest source of new doctors is young americans who want to get the hell away from the paperwork burden.

Any time you need access to multiple alphabets to track variants of something, your problems go well beyond nomenclature.

We can always start naming variants after a certain family’s progeny, then after their acolytes and enablers. We can start with the ones who saw prison time.
