It is frequently a poor arrangement for doctors as well, but that does not mitigate how little the system accounts for the patient's best interest.

I do have a stunt double because there are certain things that they won't let me do. Like they won't set fire to me. They won't like let me jump off a 20 story building. There are certain big stunts that it's just impossible to get insurance to let me do, but for the most part I'd say I do probably 75% of my stuff. ↗
