    Part of the reason: …
    Part of the reason: US medical schools are the only ones that do NOT teach using a “problem solving strategy” - Rather they employ the rote memorization of frivolous factoids, (just open any manual to study for the USMLE’s)

    The only TX options come out of the Washington manual = one size fits all

    Health Care in USA …
    Health Care in USA is ranked 54th (Pay more and get lots lots less)

    USA is only developed country not to offer health care to citizens

    US is 41st in world in infant mortality Cuba scores higher

    Women are 70% more likely to die in childbirth in America than in Europe

    Leading cause of death of pregnant women in USA is murder

    US is dead last in the growth rate of total compensation to its workforce; they worker longer hours than any other nation & with least vacation time!

    World Health …
    World Health Organization ranked the countries of the world in terms of oval health performance, and the U.S. (was) 37th In the fairness of health care, America is 54th. The irony is that the United States spends more per capita for health care than any other nation in the world, (The European Dream p 79 80 & NYT Nov 22, 2004). American education is the same

    Maybe I should amend the “ignore” to “inadequately address”. Btw, I wish someone would make a film about how many doctors smoke cigarettes. It would probably shock a lot of people to know that a large percentage of them do. Oops, did I say too much? *wink*

    Great! I hope I didn’t sound too rude. And you’re right, some have not changed, and continue to ignore this life threatening issue.

    Your comment is an interesting one and I am sure that some medical schools have changed since this film was made. Unfortunately, some have not. Nonetheless, it is a meaningful suggestion and I have changed my title as a result.
    Thank you.

    To anyone who watches this video… Pay attention to how OLD this video is. Things are a whole lot different nowadays. The title ought to be changed to “Doctors Reveal What Med Schools Were Not Teaching A Long Time Ago.” Nevertheless, nice vid. Good historical accounting. And yes, I am a doctor.
