How Many Types Do You Have?
Here are all of my healthcare provider types:
- Oncologist
- Neurosurgeon
- Stroke neurologist
- Radiologist
- Pain management physician
- Psychiatric nurse
- Primary care physician
Please reference the bogus system diagram below while reading the next inane paragraph.
Being a C++ coder, I could design and code up a farcical class of attributes and behaviors for each healthcare provider type. I can then wire them together into a structured “cancer system” explicitly designed to protect the patient (ME!) from the EOAM. I can then write a simulator and run all kinds of hypothetical scenarios on the system. Who knows, with a set of tweaks to the static system structure and dynamic class behaviors, I’ll find a way to permanently silence the crab-man on one of my Monte Carlo simulation runs.
I remember the good ole days when I needed only one healthcare provider type – a primary care doctor. How many types do you require?
