@Tricha Fischer he also has to have potatoes in order of size (dosage and supposedly higher treatment capabilities)! First, starting off with 8 of those tiny ball ones, then if he can handle it but we still claim he needs more cuz we are docs and claim he needs more half a baked and then toss in some supplements that we claim are for his benefit but are only there as the meds are destroying him AKA making it a loaded baked potato! REMEMBER: This is NOT a five star establishment! We do N0T have the yelp scores at this place to move him from the small potatoes to a secondary course of treatment of like finger link potatoes to half a baked one to a loaded one so we have to jump the gun a bit! It in no way has to do with the fact that you have zero health issues to warrent the skipping about but we just don't have the ability to send you places or the resources to treat you methodically as we can't help that you walked into your local diner vs the new, over the top 5 star place 30 miles away!

And you had to paid full price for your meal because that restaurant was out of network. Better yet, imagine using coupons to get a discount at the hospital.

[@a.humanbeing8171]

Absolutely! Except that in our small county restaurant you need to add a 6 hour wait to be seen in the waiting room by the single waiter (while helping other diners who are hungrier than yourself - the restaurant only has a single waiter because all the other waiters took lucrative temporary positions with wealthier restaurants). All tables in the bar where emergent orders are taken are full with diners waiting for tables upstairs in the longer term dining areas, so diners are seen by the single chef in the waiting area of the restaurant. Usually, the chef is great and doesn't stand on his importance- he busses tables, helps the waiter, and serves those too hungry to wait in the whatever available space the restaurant has- usually, the pre pre restaurant.

[@JamesDecker7]

Ooof, that whole thing about waiters leaving for better pay hits home, as a chef, I like to think of my support staff as both souschefs AND waiters (nothing gets done without them) and they are so hard to recruit….

@@tarrySubstance I am from Germany, and I am grateful for my health insurance and that I won't go into debt for being sick. However 1. this system also fails people, who can't be or aren't insured even though they should be 2. We have not enough healthcare workers. They are extremely underpaid and no one wants to work in this field. It's also hard to find specialists or good general doctors, especially in the rather rural eras. So, you could go to a doctor, but you can't because you wait half a year for an appointment. (Especially true for specialists). Which will be a growing problem as we have way more old people and boomer than young people. So more old people who need more healthcare but a shrinking number of people working in the field. 3. This obviously leads to burnouts, stress, and even more people quitting. 4. The way our healthcare system works we have people who are treated better because they earn more money, so they pay more and are privately insured and aren't part of the public system. So this creates inequality. 5. Hospitals make money to more patients they have. So you spend less time getting actual care, either because your doctor has no time because they have way to many patients or because the more patients as hospital has the more money they get. We have also a growing number of hip procesdures, for example, or X-rays, just because that's a way to make money, and not because it's nesessary. So yeah, our healthcare system is also just bad in many ways

[@tanya5322]

@@_the_ I wish you could explain that to the segment of Americans who seem to insist that if we switched to a European style universal healthcare system, that all the problems we currently have would simply go away. Yes, some of our current problems would go away, but there would be other problems that would develop

AS an ER doctor I can tell you THAT YES !! Hospitals are like restaurants at least in the Emergency Department. We are in the service industry, we attend to your needs, we do our best not to have you wait, we never say "thats not my patient (ie thats not my table) furthermore patietns will get mad and wnat to complain to a manager 😂... Then they will ask for food and we do have a fine selection of turkey sandwhiches and cheese also yougurt, juices, oreos (AMAZING)....Many other examples !!!

[@thesabiqoon4178]

Lols... not to mention the saltine crackers lols and some of the patients even like the hospital food served. Although I would licken the hospital to more like a hotel.

How does triage for seating work in a restaurant? 😅 Great one, doc.

[@johnnelson4411]

"So, on a sale of 1 to 10, how hungry are you? 1 is "just ate at a buffet" and 10 is "Suffering from starvation and/or malnutrition?" Oh, and if you lie to us and we find out there's a meal triage fee applied to your tab. No, I have no further information on numbers 2-9. No, I cannot tell you how much that fee would be if your unknowingly or purposefully lie; it depends on how bad the lie is, and the severity of whom it effects. Think carefully. Your answer shall determine how quickly you're seated and get your meal."

Very creative video! Sarcasm about the bitter truth

[@svetka2100]

looks like something familiar ...and on top ive seen language barriers. if you added a rolling stand with a tablet of an interpretors service contribution in addition, showing a patient looking at the doctor, maintaining a courteous gratitude composure towards " the teams effort to help their "needy self" (within...feeling overwealmed) ...)looking at the doctor as the Dr speaks...patient grasping gestures for pointers and then listening reliably unto interpretors voice. Here... I've noted, interpretors have used various methods of passing on the info. In the medical appointments ive been in sometimes I've noticed an interpretor would start word for word then switch into a thought for thought method of relaying information to that patient and then if easier and time efficiant..if possible diluting info more to save time dragging,...going as far as to a concept brief summarry approach of their retrieved perspective what the Dr may have tried to say. I've done simultaneous interpreting for a few consecutive years (in a non medical setting). People usually tunex in to hear me though headsets. Once i was in a medical appointment with my dad and i began with consecutive approach and then there was less pauses between the Dr's information and that became a little challenge so.. as she got rolling.. and instead if having the boldness in asking for a slowdown of pauses lol i turned into that same simultanious mode as a retreat lol and just spoke on in Ukranian what the Dr was saying as she spoke lol bc i didnt feel equipped to interpret with accuracy in a consecutive manner in lack of practice of consecutive methods. my dad could tune into my voice but that just threw the Dr. off from what she was saying. i suppose it was also not usual for her bc then she slowed down lol but i just could not switch into a consecutives method with her rate of speach and my lack of ability to gather her info for a consecutive manner attempt 😅 would you be willing to look into medical setting interpretting variations and share a video on that finding? would be neat to seethe other sides of perspective ex; an interpereters' experience in different forms like, in person.. on tablet...ect. a Drs, a patients
