Why Is Medical Care For People Astronomically Expensive Compared To Equivalent Animal Care?

[ToraToraTora]

This is a simplification of an earlier and apparently too complex question. I hope this one is easier.

[Islay]

Because of the number of people involved in human operation compared to that of animal operations.
Are you hoping to get an answer that suits you better?

[THECORBYLOON]

Again, what is your evidence for the costs or is that question too complex for You?

[bednobs]

Why is this news?

[ToraToraTora]

no i'm just hoping to get an answer rather than irrelevant BS.

[ToraToraTora]

I have not mentioned costs in this post. It's a question of magnitude not specifics.

[Islay]

Lol giving you a valid answer is now BS?
Been on the sauce early geezer?

[hc4361]

Can you answer your question, TTT? It seems nobody else can tell you what you want to hear

[ToraToraTora]

no one has given any sort of answer yet. All they've done is obfuscate. I really am interested in the answer but for some reason people just seem to want to take the ssip.

[THECORBYLOON]

What are the physiological differences between humans and animals? How many folk are involved in the treatments and why? How long does it take to train in the respective positions?

What ARE the costs?

[jno]

my answer's still the same, it's because a lot more people and equipment is involved in treating humans than dogs. I don't know why you think that's irrelevant.

[ToraToraTora]

apparently Vets training is tougher than doctors.

[jno]

says who, a vet?

[ToraToraTora]

it's not true jno.

To become a surgeon you'll need to complete:
a 5-year degree in medicine, recognised by the General Medical Council (GMC)
a 2-year foundation programme of general training
2 years core surgical training in a hospital
up to 6 years of speciality training

Vet training seems to take five years, sometimes six.

[whiskeryron]

I believe that docs cannot treat animals but vets are allowed to treat human patients. The answer is so logically simple really. Let's just have vets to treat all.

[bednobs]

My answer on your other identical post seems valid. Have u read it?

[hereIam]

I think maybe animal care is dearer as an animal in relation to a human is generally much smaller and they are allowed home to recover after major surgery, whereas a human has to stay in hospital for a time, and I should know having forked out a fortune at the vets over many years ..... Of course I could be wrong (lol).
