Doctors need a lot more than assistants.
The medical industry is huge and doesn’t exist without doctors.
Trump just was off base in how he tried to make his point. He was making a point about managing and administrating. The businessmen make it happen.
But without the doctors there is nothing to make happen.
I know the medical industry extremely well.
I’ll emphasize that again: “EXTREMELY WELL”.
Doctors do not hire IT people or janitors etc.
They hire one office manager who normally is also a medical assistant and that manager will contract with a janitorial service or IT contractor etc.
Doctors are professionals. They are not in the business of creating entire industries of people.
Doctors can be employed by or contracted by other related industries such as the pharmaceutical industry but doctors don’t create the industry. Doctors are trained to provide professional services.
And when I say doctors don’t create these industries, I mean it in the statistical sense. That means doctors are with 99.999% probability not industrialists. Carson is not an industrialist. Trump is.
