>>I don't know why that would make a big
difference. After a few years of
practice any advantages should level out.
No, it does. If you learn piano earlier, you play
with more facility than if you learn later in life.
>>It seems the Americans should be streaming to
Brazil.
They DO ... for things like plastic surgery,
internal ear reconstruction, heart transplants,
microsurgeries, and opthalmologic surgery.
>>'Medical guidelines' sounds like another way of
saying the system is more
straightforward, less bribery.
Medical guidelines are no-brainer, CYA procedures
that prevent doctors from being sued. They are
updated every couple years. It's auto-pilot for
physicians.
Now in medicine, doctors refer to "art." Medical
"art" is the holistic (rational-intuitive) use of
a physician's cumulative clinical experience and
judgment. Brilliant doctors tend to use more
"art." If you want an example of pure (if
unrealistic) "medical art," look at the TV show
"House."
*Having medical guidelines means that physicians
are free to practice "medical art" while also
being protected from malpractice.
*Medical guidelines also mean that if you don't
have a brilliant doctor, but instead have a
dolt-doctor or moron-doctor, you will be receiving
a minimal standard of care. Since 10 percent of
all US doctors (and a greater percentage of
foreign doctors) are moron- or dolt-doctors,
guidelines save lives.
