Emergency Medical Service/Ambulances are a ridiculously low qualified in a fair shair of industrial nations, especially the US,France, or Austria.
Even in the countries with more training/physician based services (Germany, Belgium, Italy)the actual qualification of the responders varies widely - most of them wouldn't be allowed to care for a single emergency within a hospital on their own.
Of course it's possible to be a part time CEO and there are more and more leadership positions that are job shared, etc.
Everything else is sexist and ableist bullshit, because it usually disadvantages women and disabled disproportionately.
Actually Swiss disability provisions are worse than US provisions (worse than most industrial nations, btw)
Funny enough you are legally not allowed to call that a Döner in the EU. (Döner by law must not use ground beef. If they do you can call them Kebab,but not Döner)
How did you get a 2.50CHF lunch? Migro prepacked sandwich?
I always struggle to find cheap lunch options.
Which is kind of ironic seen the current problems.
But it's indeed incredibly beautiful.
Lisboa has a similar but smaller and older district, built there to rebuild after an earthquake.
Well, we could assign the reviewers more "significance" here. We could give them points and if they "upvote" a paper it gives the paper a bit more visibility/reputation. If the reviewer has actually reviewed the paper it gives the paper more points.
How much a reviewer is able to "spend" could be based on the reputation of the institution, their own papers in the same field and the points they get for their reviews by other users.
Just a raw idea,but it seems possible, indeed.
Why not both? There are a fair bit of positions that allow a certain degree of patient sided work. And of course there is always Freelance/Locum work in most countries.
I have switched to a full off-patient role a long time ago and since the beginning of Covid I have worked mostly remotely. But I am still working as a Freelancer for a few shifts per month, depending on my workload.
And I like this model a lot.
You forgot the "basement dwelling gatekeepers", there are the ones whose minds never left their parents basement and whose social skills aka lack thereof is evident in their gatekeeping.
Their way is the only correct way and Linus has actually no idea how to run Linux, hardware manufacturers don't know anything about their products, anyone using not their service of choice is automatically an idiot and if you don't know how to compile xyz yourself by using a self taught technique you really should get off the internet right now.
Often their advice is inefficient, sometimes it's outdated and some even blatantly lie (had one boast in a discord that he has a myriad of secret user accounts where he intentionally gives bad advice to a FOSS product he hates).
Some also intentionally make whatever the goal is appear much harder in an effort to look smarter (that behaviour is often found in the professional world as well*)
They are the cancerous sore of FOSS and social media,imho.
PS: Anecdote: I work in healthcare,not IT originally. Everything I know is self taught, therefore. Started a new consulting gig and one of these guys, very much a "IT gatekeeper" always made the company he worked for think it takes a massive effort to install a certain product. Which made everyone's life much harder because yes,he did install it, but he manually compiled it which took him weeks at a time, while his other work piled up. So they tried not to use this essential product whenever possible and worked their way around it.
I came there, saw that I needed said product and had it installed within 20min. The CEO sat right next to me and was stunned. "You prepared that, right?" "Uhm,no? You can just download and install it like this?"
IT-Gatekeeper was asked to join the meeting asap and told to explain why they need so long. His only excuse was "I need to review all the code" - which he did diligently, but he always reviewed ALL the code not only changes, according to his notes.
I made the mistake of saying to myself a bit to loud "but if you compile that stuff yourself then you are liable if it breaks,if you use the advised packages from the manufacturer they are"(medical device law can be interesting). IT-Gatekeeper exploded and screamed at me how I have no idea how IT works,etc.
He was let go shortly after that.
Und das wo sich doch seine Parteifreunde im Osten Land auf Land ab auf eine Koalition mit der AfD vorbereiten....als Juniorpartner.
Actually COVID is one of the most used tests they do, at least around here. But you can do things like drug use, cancer epidemiology (for some cancers), etc. as well - and that is incredibly helpful from a public health point of view.
Because it's just like with Covid - we can't get proper data from patient sided tests because we can't test everyone. And even if we could,not everyone would.
But everybody poops/pees. And guys like OP interpolate from that.
A EMT is in no way qualified to handle emergencies on their own (and yes,I know their curriculum very well). And no, the majority of ambulances are not paramedic-staffed in the US - Actually only 25% of all licenced providers are Paramedics and there are large areas which have only BLS available in a reasonable timeframe. Or no EMS at all, as ambulance services are NOT an essential service in most states. (Only 11 States see it differently).
So no, not even remotely "most ambulances" are paramedic staffed. Mathematically impossible.
Besides: The shortest current timeframe in the US for paramedic training is 6 months.
That is incredibly short in international comparisons, especially when one does compare it to the skills allowed with it.
Comparison: Australia: 3 year bachelor degree to even make it on a Emergency ambulance (not counting very rural WA&NT), a master degree for the more serious skills.
Germany: 3 Year apprenticeship to be in command in the ALS ambulance, but emergency physicians are tasked to more serious cases
Switzerland: 3 year degree, emergency physicians being somewhat common, though, often additional nursing and critcare degree required for more serious cases.
Hungary: 2 Year EMT course for EMT, 4 year Bachelor for Paramedic
Poland: 3year Bachelor as minimum.
South Africa: 1year minimum for the entry, 2 year's for most jobs, 4 years for paramedic.
