>>> Yes... but I don't see that happening in medicine. In fact the reverse seems to be happening. Have you ever taken anyone to an Emergency Room for a common problem? It's not like getting a burger at McDonald's. It's the opposite, the model of inefficiency. Could you please cite examples of such "inefficiency"? In fact, many ERs are absolute models of maximum efficiency. The idea is to allocate scarce resources (e.g., equipment & staff time) in the way that yields the best results for the patients who present. Most ERs I know of do just that. Again, what examples of "inefficiency" do you have?
