Comment on Why are doctors so hands off and unhelpful in the USA?

I’ve only tangentially heard about this, but another issue is that doctors in the US don’t have to, and aren’t encouraged to keep up with recent research.
Combine that with a medical education system that hasn’t changed drastically in 70 years to keep up with that new research and most US doctors are just out of date.

There is some variation by state but in the US almost all licensed medical professionals are required to participate in continuing education to keep their license.
