Anarchy is, at its simplest, just a rejection of involuntary hierarchy. You can have a centralized management- you just can't force and coerce people to work within that system. If you mistreat your doctors, they can leave, because management isn't holding their wage over them as a bargaining chip. Besides that one difference, it would function exactly as a regular hospital.

no

Lol, you've never actually studied organizational theory and logistics bullshit. Fuck off with your imaginary 'just so' nonsense.

I actually have studied this, read several books on the topic, and dozens on adjacent topics-and before that I volunteered (not as a medical professional) at an urban clinic that operated on nearly anarchist terms. There were no hand waves, buy some of the supplies were acquired without a lot of oversight from capitalist pigs.

It worked shockingly well, the patients all said it was the best care they had ever had, there was no unaccountable authority-doctors and patients had a lot of say in how everything ran, to the extent they understood what the fuck they were talking about, and a little even when they didnt, because it was for them and their concerns mattered even when they asked for impossible bullshit that didn't exist. Every doctor who participated said it made them a better doctor. I bet its still running.

I can't cite my source without partially doxxing myself, but I have actually seen this in person, and participated in it.

But I can point at Zapatista clinics, which operate pretty similar (the patients determine what they need, the doctors want to be there) to this continually for over thirty years. Those I can cite, and are almost exactly what you describe and say is unfeasable, but without the hand waves in the poorest most rural part of mexico serving the most oppressed people persecuted by capitalist regimes all around them.

The panthers(with medical research), ACT UP(with medical research that's the foundation of most cutting edge shit today), and literally the invention of the concept of non-battlefield ambulances was invented along something close to but not exactly these lines.

A huge chunk of modern medicine(emt's, anything based on genetic modification or mRNA) was kind of invented this way within living memory.

Please apologize for your delusionally counterfactual bullshit and edit your original comment to point out you were wrong in case anyone else reads it. Wouldn't want to spread misinformation.

No.

You don't prove your claim, so "yes" is an equally valid answer.

Anarchists had no problem running hospitals in the past. Centralization just increases the amount of time information has to travel to get to its destination.

Our comrades laid the foundations of a new health system .... The new medical service embraced all of Catalonia. It constituted a great apparatus whose parts were geographically distributed according to different needs, all in accord with an overall plan. Catalonia was divided into nine [sic] zones: Barcelona, Tarragona, Lerida, Reus, Borghida, Ripoll, and Haute Pyreenees. In turn, all the surrounding villages and towns were served from these centers.

Distributed throughout Catalonia were twenty-seven towns with a total of thirty-six health centers conducting services so thoroughly that every village, every hamlet, e\lery isolated peasant in the mountains, every woman, every child, anywhere, received adequate, up-to-date medical care. In each of the nine zones there was a central syndicate and a Control Committee located in Barcelona. Every department was autonomous within its own sphere. But this autonomy was not synonymous with isolation. The Central Committee in Barcelona, chosen by all the sections, met once a week with one delegate from each section to deal with common problems and to implement the general plan ....

The people immediately benefited from the projects of the health syndicate. The syndicate managed all hospitals and clinics. Six hospitals were opened in Barcelona .... Eight new sanitariums were installed in converted luxurious homes ideally situated amidst mountains and pine forests. It was no easy task to convert these homes into efficient hospitals with all new facilities. One of them, for the treatment of tuberculosis, was considered among the best installations anywhere ....
