Everything and nothing? I'll try to piece something together next week. Residency and medical training is an odd bird. Infant mortality stinks (albeit this is just as much a statistical issue). Defensive medicine abounds. People often don't pay their bills. Reimbursement rates are low. Why does it cost so much for a single individual to get health insurance? Why cdn't people pool together? Etc. etc. The system isn't broken...yet. But it isn't getting better. Good question.
