4chan's problem isn't the lack of a voting system, the problem comes from the complete anonymity of its users, the lack of friction to post, and the near complete lack of moderation standards.
The very best online online communities I've ever been a part of - and continue to participate in - tend to have two major things in common. First, there has to be some sort of friction to join the conversation. Second, there are moderation standards, and these standards are only enforced with active and engaged moderators, and not by easily-gamed populism-driven systems.
Chiropractic, as a field, was created by someone who was adamant that he got the idea from a ghost during a seance. He then claimed to cure someone's deafness via spinal manipulation.
Just go to a massage therapist or a physical therapist (depending on your actual needs).
I've been working on building something using a Daisy Seed lately. Pretty amazing that I can have interesting sounds (and effects) generated in just ~200 lines of C++.
And you're absolutely right about the documentation.
> Again, that's most frequently called becoming a nurse practitioner.
Personally, I would always rather see a physician due to how much more training/experience they have. A physician who's out of residency will have gotten at least 3 years of on the job training (after medical school). A nurse practitioner may have just gotten their BSN and then gone straight into an NP program without ever working a single day as a nurse.
But yes, you're right, this person is absolutely describing NPs.
> Personally, I would always rather see a physician due to how much more training/experience they have.
There's a very good chance, if you're seeing a NP, that the NP has a lot more experience with that sort of condition than the docs. After all, the practice is sending those sorts of issues to the NP. My dad's a radiologist, but they haven't assessed a minor break in decades, because they're very subspecialized.
If it's unusual or complex, the NP is probably the first to say "we'll need to make an appt with Dr. So and So".
> Increase nurses, allow them to get promoted to doctors.
I think this sentence shows that you don't really understand the difference between the two jobs. Nurses and physicians have wildly different training/education. There are things about the body that any first year medical student could tell you, that nurses never learn even after decades of experience (because they don't need to).
You didn’t read my post. I literally wrote training doesn’t matter. An intelligent nurse without a formal medical background but with enough experience can outperform a doctor. Maybe you can give the nurse a year or two of formal medicine theory as a certification that allows them to become a doctor.
How many risk dying because of costs? You won’t reduce quality that much if you have a smart person looking at your medical problems. But decreasing the costs may outweigh the benefits.
I can’t prove this but my intuition says that you don’t need this high of a barrier.
And I think you're vastly underestimating the silliness of the requirements to get into medical school.
Medical schools care whether you got an A or B in your undergrad physics-for-life-sciences lab (I know this because I had to deal with annoying grade-grubbing pre-meds as a TA for that class). I would feel 100% comfortable with being treated by a physician who "only" earned a B in my undergraduate physics.
Medical schools also care about how many hours of volunteer community service you do. So, I guess all the applicants who had to work a job through undergrad can just go fuck themselves.
You might start by asking why medical schools care about such silly things. It's such a strange metric! The answer is that medical school collude to limit the number of doctors (so that we don't have "too many"!). Since the quota is so low, they have an enormous ratio of qualified applicants to seats. , So, they need objective criteria to pick some people over others. A or B in undergrad physics (or number of hours of community service) is an objective, quantitative way to cull the herd of overqualified applicants.
Personally, I always thought a better solution would be to have med school applicants roll a die. While I would be 100% comfortable being treated by someone who earn a "B" in my physics class, I'm not sure I want an unlucky surgeon operating on me.
Maybe by Manjaro's maintainers, but certainly not by Arch's. I've been using Arch for a little over a decade. The position that I've always seen in the official IRC channel is that forks such as Manjaro are explicitly not Arch.
