And you're right that convenience for patients should be taken into consideration when organising the locations of healthcare services. Walkable cities anyone?

2024-01-10 20:54:16 +0000 UTCThis video had me thinking about the barefoot doctors & your points you brought up about needing layman's and specialized knowledge and I was thinking about applying the concept of cross training within specialized fields and towards layman's knowledge? Something I think of is how healthcare is so fractured, and I wondered would it be beneficial to to pair specialized knowledge & layman's knowledge in a cross training kind of way, for people to be able to have more autonomy & have medicine be utilized better for the common good. One of the ways I was thinking is like a podiatrist and a nail tech being paired together the Nail Tech Meticulous Manicurist on youtube does in depth pedicures on her clients that centers their foot & nail health, and a lot of that knowledge she got from going beyond just what she learned in cosmology and into reading podiatry books, and I just thought that concept could be used within fields of medicine. Also I was thinking why aren't our medical centers have our various care needs in one place, like dentistry, podiatry, medic doc, mental health...be in one place? I think of part of what makes caring your health so hard is how your health providers will be spread out all over the place, and makes it a hassle to care for your well being.
