So we didn’t have physicians before government started funding residencies? I think not, I think we used to have physicians just fine 100 years ago. So what changed?

Medical education with residencies only really started in about 1930. Before that there was no real consistency, and the results were terrible in terms of iatrogenic harm.

The other thing that changed in the past 100 years is that Americans on average are older, sicker, and have higher demand for healthcare.
