Do you think most people in healthcare are educated enough about it or is it a lot of the blind leading, selling to, managing, and even treating the blind?

I think the problem is more so that people are only educated in their field/position so it leaves so much on the table that they don't knwo

I think this is absolutely true on the administration and insurance side, but not on the actual care! With the fear of malpractice suits and the availability of education out there, it's hard to be a bad doctor. Though there are plenty of supporting caregivers that are bad eggs. But it's the admin people who are often the problem! Proves though, that the system can work just fine without people knowing much about it, which proves that it is...not fine.

Healthcare corporations only care about the bottom line. Administrators are incentivized to cut corners in order to cut costs. A skilled workforce enhances healthcare outcomes, but it's costly. Companies would rather risk errors and lawsuits than pay for qualified talent.

Healthcare is a complex field with a wide range of expertise levels. While many professionals are highly educated and knowledgeable, there can still be gaps in understanding, especially given the ever-evolving nature of medical advancements. It's important for continuous education and collaboration to ensure accurate, informed decision-making. Striving for open communication and ongoing learning helps minimize the potential for the blind leading or treating the blind, ultimately improving patient care and outcomes.

I think it may depend on where you get your education
