> AMA was lobbying for more residencies for years

The AMA lobbies for more _subsidized_ residencies while downplaying that unsubsidized residencies also exist and could expand without waiting on more taxpayer funding

Seems more common in media fields (Van Gogh, Lovecraft, etc.)

> no reason they can’t publish valuable work with the right collaborators

Despite h-index claiming to balance quantity and quality, it obviously incentives quantity over quality (no single publication can increment h-index as much as churning out a few worthless publications that cite each other); med students overwhelmingly follow those incentives trying to secure better residencies

Musk and Bezos don't even own that percentage of Tesla and Amazon respectively, let alone all American wealth
