Andy, the Dancemix[edit]
Here you go. It's not as spectacular as it should be, but I only went through the first mp3. Maybe I'll do the other one sometime soonish.

- Yeah, somebody needs to do an "Autotune the Andy" version, in Autotune the News style. That would be pure AWESOME. --127․0․0․1 18:23, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
- Here's an autotuned version, although I'm not sure how they pull off that severe autotuning.

- Garageband is shit. I'd recommend Logic Pro v8, I've spent the last year using it and it's great. SJ Debaser 13:29, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
- In fairness Superjosh/Russian Mafia, LP8 is five times the price of Garageband. And LP8 doesn't even come with the ability to print photo calendars for your Gran, an essential tool for any DJ or remixer. DogPMarmite Patrol 14:14, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
- I forgot about the calendar maker. Logic Pro's more advanced, but Garageband is easily sufficient for this job. Very well done, I loved the splicing along the lines of "Conservapedia's got pornography, it excites the students." SJ Debaser 15:34, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
- Pitch correction in GB appears to not allow you to "play" a voice as an instrument as with Logic vocal transformer or Auto Tune plugins. So I'll see about buying or borrowing Logic cuz it looks rad, but don't forget that GB is free with a Mac. User:Nutty Roux/sigtalk 15:49, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, but then you have to own a mac. That's a fate worse than death. Next thing you know, it's five AM and you're standing out front of the Apple store with all the other douches, waiting to buy the latest iShite. --JeevesMkII The gentleman's gentleman at the other site 18:48, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

House, Obama send condolences[edit]
Maybe it's just me, but Andy almost makes it sound like they're doing something dirty. --PsyGremlinWhut? 14:39, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
- You know, when I read "House, Obama send condolences" my first thought was "Why are Hugh Laurie and Obama getting together on something?" Silly brain. --JeevesMkII The gentleman's gentleman at the other site 18:37, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

The Imaginary 'Textbook'[edit]
It's quite amazing that they can tell us that CP has apparently been cited by a 'textbook' and yet can't provide that oh so minor piece of information...which one? Jammy 22:30, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
- Well, it was a sunday-school textbook, so it might well have been something somebody at the church put together--Gather a bunch of stuff off the Internet, put it on a flash drive, take it down to Kinko's for printing and binding. Likely as not somebody who knows Andy, knows what he does, knows he teaches sunday school, knows he'd be reading the textbook. Maybe his wife. If it were a "real" textbook Andy would no doubt have mentioned the title in order to better impress us all; he knows that citing a homemade pamphlet is damning with faint praise ("Hey! My best friend Bob mentioned me on the sheet of paper he ran through the ditto machine!").--WJThomas 22:55, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
- Here's a thought, too: Andy sez that he was teaching about the Book of Daniel when he ran across something interesting about the French Revolution. What does the former have to do with the latter?--WJThomas 23:02, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
- It was an insight, you liberal vandal! ħuman 02:29, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Ken's Insanity[edit]
Why does tehassfly allow Ken to edit the main page? I mean seriously, have a look at it in its current state. The (far) right bar is a relatively neat section of news and appropriately sized images, and then you scroll down the left to see a variety of random images with word soup underneath them. Who, in their right mind, would visit CP's homepage for the first time and think it was a serious site? Crundy 13:50, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
- They really need to archive their news items. I scrolled down the page and I think the output alone would put enough people off thinking it a real site. Just look at the picture of Hitler and Darwin spliced together. You'd have to be retarded to think that a real picture. SJ Debaser 13:55, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
- You're asking the wrong question. The Arsefly has never taken a lead role in the site, he isn't interested in the day to day running of it, it's administration or the minutiae of how it ought to be organised. He'll actively ignore anyone who endeavours to get him to make a decision. All that stuff has been delegated in perpetuity to the other "senior admins", which in practice these days means to TK. They've lost almost anyone who knew anything about making templates and other shiny navigation aids, so CP is never going to get any better than it is now. The correct question is, why doesn't TK beat on kendoll the way he does everyone else? The only reason I can think of is that kendoll does almost as good a job at destroying CP as TK does. --JeevesMkII The gentleman's gentleman at the other site 13:57, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
- Almost? He manages to do it better! The Emperor Kneel before Zod! 15:43, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
- Again, I express regret at not finding Conservapedia a year or two ago when it was all-go with debate and slightly less banhammering and moar hilarious Andy-related antics. SJ Debaser 14:05, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
- Jeeves: Personally I'd muster a guess that TK hates Ken

as much as anyone, and every time he sees one of his monumental fail additions to the homepage he gets a bit angry (and goes off and starts an argument with a rookie contributor) but never says anything. I can only think that kennyken is one of tehassfly's better loved bitches and even TK isn't stupid enough to block him knowing that andeh would just overturn it. It must make TK's blood boil every time Ken
makes an edit. It's quite a lovely thought really. Crundy 15:23, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
As was revealed when they opened the SDG I think they all find Ken irritating and think he's a bit of a tit, but Andy has a sneaking respect for his inexplicable ability to achieve good Google rankings with his articles. StarFish 15:28, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
- He's fiddeling with the main page again. Always promissing something coming soon but every time - every time! - it's a bitter dissapointment. I wish he would point to something that's actually happened rather than empty promises that never amount to anything. He always gets my hopes up for something really funny then - nothing. And yes, I love the pictures on main page. Sadly Ken's pictures are about the only really funny thing left on CP. More Ken. Please more. Can we have the Hitler/Darwin/Parrot 'we love eveolutionary racism' picture back please? Please?? StarFish 15:36, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
- Wow, he got rid of the bullfighting, creationist seagulls and the windmill. Now it only looks like a flange of five or six drunken baboons were let loose on the main page, rather than an even dozen. For your next trick, Kendoll, you can actually archive the news. You know, we have bots to do these sorts of things. It's a shame all your cohorts are morons. --JeevesMkII The gentleman's gentleman at the other site 15:50, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
- I don't think TK or any of them "hate" Ken, it's more like the Oh No! reaction of the centurion in Life of Brian when Biggus Dickus decides to read out the list of prisoners. ГенгисOur ignorance is God; what we know is science. 17:31, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

TerryH, just another "Liar and vandal"[edit]
According to JPratt anyway, who deletes the articles "Template talk:Nb Atlas", "Azariah III" and "Hoshea (high priest)",using "Vandalism / lies" as his reason. All very well and fine, until you look at the wanted articles and realise these were well linked articles and b) he's been crapping all over TerryH's work at listing everybody in the Bible. I guess the parodist's mask is starting to slip a little, or he really is a semi-literate cunt, who doesn't know what he's doing. --PsyGremlinWhut? 10:44, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
- It may seem unbelievable but all the evidence I have perused, including Twitter tweets and other stuff, has pointed overwhelmingly to the latter conclusion. Andy must be able to enforce action at a distance and mysteriously draws these societal misfits to him. In the old days they would have been tolerated as village idiots but now they think they're intelligent people and deserve to be listened to and respected. Nowadays it may not be politically correct to mock the afflicted but one can't help sniggering at them. (BTW Arthur Figgis=Ed Poor). ГенгисYou have the right to be offended; and I have the right to offend you. 11:57, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
- You take back that slur against the good name of Arthur Figgis now, or i shall have to ask you to step outside. Actually, I've always thought of them more as Upper Class Twits, (although slack-jawed, rather than chinless), saying thing unintelligibly. Like Andy: "Mummy is a right wing harlot and uses me as a waste paper bin." Terry: "I know Ed Meese and Daddy won the Kentucky Derby." --PsyGremlinWhut? 12:38, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

A helping hand for TK[edit]
Seeing as you're graduating to deleting pages at a whim, as well as blocking every editor in sight. Judge Dredd pop culture? I would have though he was the most conservative film icon you could get 9he's pro death penalty, anyway), since St Ronnie (or are you just jealous you don't look as nice in all that black leather?). Anyway, if you're going to remove all the pop culture from CP, then here's a list to start with:
- Star Trek (don't forget all of Ed's live-blogged episodes)
- Category: Movies
- Category:Harry Potter Movies
- Category:Science Fiction Movies
- Category:Animated Movies (especially those nasty Ghibli ones Uncle Ed shows to the kids he's
groomingteaching.
Lead on, McDuff.
Oh and the next time you try and instigate an off-line e-mail conversation with somebody who could be a minor, I am going to start investigating how to lay a COPPA complaint against Andy and CP. Not you, but Andy as the site owner. --PsyGremlinWhut? 15:38, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
- It's too bad Ed didn't create a page about Pom Poko. I'd like to hear his thoughts about the adorable raccoons use their giant nutsacks to knock people unconscious. --GTac 18:25, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

- I can think of a blockbusters style game for Conservapedia blocking. You start with a set of hexes filled with random letters like regular blockbusters, one player plays top to bottom and another left to right. Each player takes it in turns to select an unoccupied letter from the board and an unblocked user whose name starts with that letter. If the user is blocked within 24 hours, you get to claim that hex. The winner is the person who creates an unbroken line of hexes between their two sides. Players aren't allowed to create socks for the purposes of game play, or select their own socks. --JeevesMkII The gentleman's gentleman at the other site 11:28, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

I suspect those of you who aren't Canadians have heard nothing about this, due to your liberal mainstream media, but the Canadian Internet have been completely overrun by creationism in an operation called
Operation Corpuscular Puddle. Remember "the internet is a series of tubes"? From Alaska's standpoint, this is literally true, as the Canadian Internet is a system of hydraulic tubes filled with maple syrup and poutine. We are on the defensive, the situation is grim and grows grimmer by the minute, as it turns out our Science Minister was a creationist plant, a pawn of chess master Ruy Lopez. Our stalwart lumberjacks and mounties are valiantly attempting to repair the holes in the internet trunk (a pipeline running through British Columbia from Alaska to Washington), gouged by bulls manipulated by creationist matadors. Please send help! We've run out of supplies and are now using spam to fill the leaks, and it's only a matter of time until the crusading creationists reach the Central Pumping Nexus, codenamed the "Evolutionary Paradigm."

Sir! We're receiving an incoming message from Canada-
Liberals are the conspiracy theories![edit]Anyone remember how Andy likes to go on about how liberals are always believing in conspiracy theories? Well, early Sunday morning I was woken by a knock-knock at my front door. I dragged myself up from my hangover and mumbled what bad and stupid idea I thought it was to think about getting up. But I answered the door and found my half brother on the doorstep. This was unusual because I thought he was in Brazil. So I let him in and we had a few pre-lunch beers. During our conversation he started spouting anti-Obama conspiracy theories. I listened politely. After he left I watched a movie at his suggestion. It was called The Obama Deception and within minutes I could see where it was going. Typical New World Order/Illuminati brain fodder. The movie went on about a shadowy junta called The Bildeberg Group. After doing a little research I discovered this -
Well the way I read it, The Bilderberger posse are liberals engaged in deceit and they a deceiving the god honest Republicans. Thank heavens she was there to point it out. Rad McCool 01:14, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Bring back short blocks[edit]IPs aside, you now have to go a long way back through the block log to find a block of less than five years.

They should bring back the shorter blocks.-- Kriss AkabusiAAAWOOOGAAAR!!1 13:04, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Over the last six month, blocks shorter than five years for an editor virtually didn't happen: The single dots in the wp:Boxplot show outliers... Before 2009 in almost every month a significant portion of the blocks were shorter than five years. Usually shorter blocks are sufficient: only ~50% (try to) come back from a one-day-block...

I do not condone any sort of wandalism / page bumping. That said, one should recall Andy's consternation when the last wiki upgrade was done. The page count is stored individually for each page, and for the site. Different counters - but they get updated at the same time. When a page is deleted, it doesn't reduce the site counter by that much. However, when the wiki software is updated, the site counter is set to the sum of the page counters. Andy was a bit disappointed to see the page count for the site drop (I think he called it a liberal counting scheme or something like that, though by all accounts, it is likely a more conservative one). If one was to bump the site count with a page that would be deleted for having too high a page count and Andy trumpets the 10M number, when the software is upgraded and it drops below 10M (anyone want to do the actual count? I know a number of high volume pages have been deleted) we can once again enjoy his disappointment at dropping below another imaginary number. --Shagie 16:37, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Minor issue[edit]
I'll preface this by whining about how I'd don't approve of this sort of thing, especially using the wiki to discuss it. Which isn't to say that I don't find the goal funny. With those delightfully contradictory statements out of the way, aren't DoS attacks illegal? Not that this is one, and people are even actively trying to make sure they don't break the CP server (well, someone mentioned it, at least), but the activities might look like a DoS thing, which might have repercussions. I'm probably wrong, of course. I do acknowledge that this isn't "vandalism", or "trying to mess up a website", by the way. The "plan" is to actually give the site owner some more of what he likes to boast about, as far as I can tell. ħuman 19:49, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Andy is making threatening noises[edit]
This may just be a coincidence, but a half hour ago Andy created this, talking about the illegality of bots. He seems to be bothered by our 4th of July celebration. Now we've been through this before—it's in the archives somewhere—but CP is not a "protected computer" in the sense of Federal law. Also, there is no "intent to defraud", and there is no "obtain[ing] anything of value", and the value, if there were any, is not "more than $ 5,000", and that there is no intent to "obtain or alter information in the computer that the accesser is not entitled so to obtain or alter". But other than that, Andy is, as usual, right on target. Gauss 01:46, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
- Andy read your own rules:
“”The operation of unauthorized wiki-bots is prohibited*. *Search engine and read only bots are exempt from this Commandment. To get authorization please post a note on User_talk:Aschlafly, stating what the bot will do, what username it will be under, and whether you have a working prototype.

- They are read only bots, but seriously if you are going to do this you can't interfere with the normal, smooth operation of the site. So keep the clicks down to a pace where you can't be reasonably accused of a DoS attack. - π 02:06, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

It's not a coincidence, TK told him the ebil librul vandal site was gonna run scripts to muck up his site. Who knows how much "truth" was involved in what TK told Andy, since We all (us and TK) know Andy doesn't read here, but presumably, Andy and others have been seeing the 503's too, and are konfused. TK explained. This reads like an episode of Schlafly Doo. But it's what is really happening. ħuman 02:29, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

- Would the FBI really care? I highly doubt it, I mean they would have to look into the complaint but any amount of researching would point to this not being a DoS attack or anything of the sort. Alot of wackos, CP included, make claims to the FBI and are filed in the wacko pile. No fear gents, gman has limited reasources and tends to spend them on more important issues.

Andy seems to be pretty embarrassed by the whole thing, however; even mentioning the FBI incident over at CP means instant banhammer. For some reason or other Andy understands how much he's humiliated himself with this particular fuckup, and I don't see him wanting to repeat the experience. Mountain Blue 05:09, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

- From what I've noticed, regular refreshing doesn't work. You have to do CTRL+F5 to renew the cache of the page in order for it to work (this was tested using one page and checking its pageview count continuously). I'm using jitbit MacroRecorder to do CTRL+R (since Opera doesn't use CTRL+F5). I've bumped John III up from 31k to 9k so far, but that's only 800 pageviews.
- Jitbit's MacroRecorder. You can get a trial program (lasts 28 days). To use: after installation, go into settings and change some stuff like, unclicking the box that says "record mouse movement" or something like that. You would also want to change the speed to low (because you can't refresh too quickly either). Set the loop count to 0 for infinite looping. Then, go to the page you want to refresh, press CTRL+R (activates recording), and press CTRL+F5, then press Scroll Lock (stops recording). View the steps that the program has recorded and make sure to save the macro for later use.
- Then, minimize the jitbit window, go to the page you want to refresh, and press CTRL+P (starts playback). Finally, leave your computer running. NOTE: If you try to do any other tasks on that computer, it will screw up your intended purpose of pushing pageviews. Make sure to press Scroll Lock or CTRL+P again to quit the macro. I hope this helped Fuzzy =^_^= 18:22, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Hammertime[edit]
I can read about 2.5 random pages per second, or 9k random pages per hour, pretty much indefinitely.

Update[edit]
It's still the Fourth of July in Wasilla, Alaska, and it will be for 9.5 more hours. We need about 43k pages per hour to make it but I think there's hope. I'm now running two machines with 12 wikipounders each, and I've configured my script to only access articles known to be less than 12k. These pages are within a couple of percent of Law Terms D, but there's OVER 9,000 of them (more than 11k, in fact), so no probable form of caching could plausibly prevent me from increasing the counter. I've also switched on gzip compression for the extra moar. Mountain Blue 22:37, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

(undent) Yes, we've been doing between 28,300 and 32,700 pages per hour for the last day or so. I have bandwidth for a lot more, but Crazypedia seems to be maxed out. If I open more floodgates I get hyperbolically longer loads and more errors to boot. The bottleneck seems to be their database, not their bandwidth; gzip compression for the on-the-wire data had close to zero effect. Guess we should have started earlier.

What we have actually achieved[edit]
It just occurred to me what we have actually achieved here is robbing Andy of his big moment. He probably has been eyeing off that 100,000,000 for along time, since he past 50,000,000, but now it means nothing because it was achieved with an elaborate page bump operation. We have taken what should have been a defining moment in CPs history and reduced it to a joke. Well done everyone. - π 01:06, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- You're absolutely correct. I believe he'll update the main page numbers in a few days with barely the most passing mention as a result. Hurray! --DogPMarmite Patrol 01:08, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- Uh... hasn't that kinda been the idea all along? Mountain Blue 01:12, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- EC--No--TK will nuke the obviously-bumped pages(PAINFULLY clear on the "popular pages" list) to bring the count down to a point where it will reach the magic number when all of this has been forgotten....TheoryOfPractice 01:13, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- The overall page count will remain until they do something such as upgrade the mediawiki software. 1.15 is out now so they may do it soon. I know Nx has been looking at the upcoming vector graphics version. - π 01:18, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- Also, remember that we've spread out our hits over 13,651 different articles (all articles shorter than 12,000 characters when translated to HTML) specifically to avoid that. We even posted a screenshot demonstrating we were not targetting any particular article. They wouldn't possibly want to reset half their articles, would they? Even if they would, we could simply hammer them again the next time they get close
to 100Mclose to 50M two years from now. Mountain Blue 01:22, 6 July 2009 (UTC)- I agree Pi. We totally spoiled his orgasm while watching the Playboy Channel (3 internets to anyone who gets that ref!) ħuman 03:14, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

- None of my hits went to those articles. I was more interested in obscure stubs about ancient historical figures...there's no point trying to fight the battle at top, I reckon, and so I went for the least visited stubbies at the bottom. --DogPMarmite Patrol 04:26, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
Video games[edit]
I don't know what he is talking about. If video games influenced people the result of Pac-Man should be that we have an entire generation of people that standard around in dark rooms, with bright flashing coloured lights, listening to repetitive electronic music, whilst taking magic pills. - π 01:02, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

- And then why the age of consent (age of the victim that get people accuse of statutory rape) is lower than the age rated for sexually explicit games, while the opposite happens for legally using guns killing people (The military has a age limit higher than the teen rated games, I think)?

- What exactly do they mean by violent video games? Are they talking about T rated FPS? Stuff like God of War, DMC and Assassin's Creed I understand (I actually have to show my ID when buying these where I live) but seriously. Parents have to look at the rating systems of games and understand that they are no longer simple distractions like the games they grew up with (my mom cannot understand why I still buy games, especially when I bought my PS3)--Nate River 01:41, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
- Tough computer game laws, you should try living in Australia. Games are sold in New Zealand with stickers on them that say "banned in Australia" as a marketing devise. - π 01:54, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

- Cool, I'd actually buy them with that kind of label. I'm nearly pissing myself reading the SCOTUS. If Andy could pass Harvard law, I actually think that I could. I'm still wondering which violent rating theey are talking about. Violence, cartoon violence, excessive or graphic? All of the above perhaps? Or just the ones with blood and gore? I cannot see them having difficulty with those FPS used by the US to promote the army. Hell, playing Ace Combat almost makes me want to join the air force--Nate River 02:13, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
- If you can pass law nearly any where else, you can pass it at Harvard. Most unis teach the same things (the god botherer ones being an exception). Harvard is just harder to get into, once you are there it is much the same course work. The difference between you and Andy is he has connections, although you are probably a bit smarter. - π 03:09, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Teabag 03:00, 29 June 2009 (UTC)Some claim that 2/3rds of videogamers are over 18 years old, but far more people are over that age and a much higher percentage of minors are videogamers
- I think it means that Andy plays video games in his spare time (he's well above the age of 18), and I'm not sure about the second part. Fuzzy =^_^=
- I actually figured it out and it does make sense. Congrats Andy. Teabag 03:05, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
- I think I figured it out but it doesn't make sense. More than 2/3 of the general population (of the U.S.? World?) are over 18 years old, but the percentage of minors that play videogames is greater than that of adults, therefore less than 2/3 of those who play videogames are over 18 years old. What about an hypothetical population of 50 minors and 150 adults, where 10 minors (20%) and 25 adults (16.667%) play videogames? FlareTalk 03:33, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, I'm sure Andy would love Assassin's Creed. Kill a traitor, yayy! Kill an abortionist, yayyy! Kill a moslem, yayyyy! Kill a guy who burns books. Eh, bummer, burning books is cool - hope the next mission makes up for it... Kill a guy with a French-sounding name, yayyyyy! --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 13:12, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

- its all statistics , say 1000 people in the world 300 of them gamers , that means that 200 are over 18 , thats 2/3 of the gamers, sp 200/700 =200/7 % = 28% of adults and 100/300 = 33% so percentage wise under 18 is bigger ... I think ...but that would mean he got a statistic right ;( Hamster 03:48, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Concierge Medicine WIGO[edit]
This is the latest in a string of reasons why you should never trust the right wing's answers to health. It clearly is trying to make healthy life exclusively for the rich and powerful. These people seem to be making our answer seem like the WAY more common sense answer. --Crazyswordsman 00:00, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
- I hadn't heard that this was part of any "plan" as such. This has been a phenomenon in the last 8 years or so, mostly in wealthy areas. It's never caught on near me (chronically depressed economy). Basically, you pay a doctor a yearly fee, say 1000 bucks which puts them on retainer. They still get to collect payments for individual services, but they take on far fewer patients and basically make themselves more available, e.g. anytime appointments, meeting you at the ER, no waits ever, snazzy office, etc. The fee lets the doc take on fewer patients and treat them the way most doctors would like to if they weren't reliant on volume. It's a practice that makes me squirm a bit, but not antithetical to fairness in health care, as long as those who cannot afford concierge care are still provided for. --
-PalMD --Did that sound a little harsh? 00:21, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
- Looking at it that way, it seems that it sounds acceptable. But still, HMOs shouldn't be telling doctors how many patients they have to be seeing, which is what happens under the current system. --Crazyswordsman 00:56, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
- True, but the concierge system makes the doctor a bunch of guaranteed cash, which offsets doing less procedures for money - 50 to 100 patients sounds reasonable to me, that's a lot of cash! Also, the HMO does not say how many patients a doctor must see, they limit how much time they'll pay for, right? ħuman 01:05, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

I would look at concierge medicine as more of a symptom than a problem. The financial and lifestyle realities of primary care are an enormous deterrent to med students. Non-procedural primary care visits are billed to low that a doctor has to see a huge patient load in order to pay the bills- you get paid more to resect a lung cancer than you do to finally get your patient to quit smoking. You get paid more to perform a gastric bypass than you do to help your patient lose weight. You get paid more to amputate a foot than to control a patient's blood glucose. Surgeons deserve to be paid well for what they do, but primary care providers shouldn't be neglected. So because of volume demands we often see fifteen minutes per patient visit. Most people become doctors because they genuinely like people, are interested in them, and want to help them. Fifteen minutes is not enough. A concierge clinic allows a doctor to practice medicine the way they remember their childhood doc practicing. Is this fair? It's a good question. But this phenomenon is something we should pay attention to. Unless we fix primary care, we can't fix the system as a whole. Corry 06:14, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

- Two things I should clarify: the above paragraph makes it look like I'm a physician. I am not. I am a third year medical student. Furthermore, reading above it appears that my only concern is money. It is not, although financial pressures are undeniable. If you attend a private medical school and finance your education through loans (like most everybody does) you almost can't afford to be a family doctor because of the debt load. Corry 20:14, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
- I'd have to agree with corry that it is a symptom, although under any system, including single payer, this kind of arrangement will be attractive to patients who can afford it.-- -PalMD --Did that sound a little harsh? 00:28, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

- You know, the country I live in has a single-payer system as well. When my wife gave birth last year, she decided that it was important for her private OBGYN to be there during the birth, especially since a C-Section was looking necessary. It meant, necessarily, paying him a healthy sum under the table. Ironically though, since so many other things were free or reimbursed, we ended up paying much less than my sister, who gave birth in the USA a few months later. But I forget, socialized medicine causes rationing, and it kills people, so the USA's system is many times better. *Cough* Junggai 11:11, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
