our midwife gave us some very solid advice to talk about with the pediatrician and ended it with "make sure to tell him you got this fror chatgpt and not a midwife, it makes doctors take you more seriously" :agony:

honestly she is such a well of information and such a kind-hearted good person and an elite expert, the stuff this woman can recall of the top of her head is mind-boggling, but gets slandered by our pediatricians boss it's fucking gut-wrenching. They keep saying that she is part of some circle of sheisters that recommend unnecessary procedures to make bank and we know the truth but there's nothing we can do...

In my experience there is a significant difference between the behaviour and attitudes of american healthcare people and elsewhere in the world. When I needed to see doctors in america they were some really awful people compared to the doctors I have seen in europe. This wasn't just doctors though, the nurses were not great people compared to european nurses either.

It must be a system thing causing this.

This is germany. The arrogance of a doctor combined with the arrogance of a german. There are some genuinely awesome people, particularly in obstetrics I found, but otherwise it's hit-or-hard-miss.

Ahh, well carry on then. I completely assumed because most are americans here. I've not had to experience German healthcare fortunately.

if you ever have the misfortune you gotta look for the woke healthcare workers. Once you've found one (regardless of specialty or even profession) they can typically recommend others, it's like an underground network of woke healthcare-professional lol. That is if they have you clocked as one of their own, which should be trivial for most hexbears I think, it's honetsly a really nice thing to see. The issue with pediatricians is you don't really get a choice since they have to be close to where you live and are all overcrowded.

financial barriers to becoming a doctor in burgerland either selects for or turns people into petit bourg

There are many petite bourg doctors, but many of them aren't, they're just labor aristocrats.
