Comment on it's a matter of motivation

Surgeons take time off work and people don’t die because of it.
Actually this does happen. The workload for most surgeons is maxxed out to the point where taking less time off would cause more deaths because of errors due to exhaustion.

Okay, so at worst the system would be as bad as the currently one, but with more surgeons because education would be free, and healthcare would be free, no medical debt, and so on. Do you realize that Cuba has socialized medicine and their health outcomes are far better than the United States? There are cures for lung cancer and alzheimers available in Cuba not available anywhere in the west, despite the US imposed blockade and decades of terrorism?

Yes, I’m not in the US. And Cuban surgeons don’t have garbage duty.

This is a really silly discussion at this point, so I’m just going to leave it here. If you truly think that people would die just because surgeons have to do a few hours of chores every week, I’m not going to try and change your mind on that. Have a great day, much love, solidarity forever!
