The sheer level of medical malpractice in America horrifies me. What the fuck kind of asshole doctor do you have to be to immediately assume a patient in distress is a criminal and go Cop Mode on them :doomer:

    Hospitals in particular are heavily incentivized to avoid having repeat admissions since readmitting someone <30 days after discharge impacts the hospital’s rating with Medicare which will impact the amount of compensation provided.

    Reminds me of the quote "A measure ceases to be useful when it becomes a goal."
