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.

    You are way too adversarial to have a conversation with. Touch grass or something.

    You all produced your own gauze, bandage tape, iodine, antivirals and antibiotics, I take it or were those generous donations by the filthy capitalists?

    It was a clinic. Do your capitalist clinics make their own bandages in-house?

    So your point is that they both depend directly on the actions of companies fueled by capitalism for medical supplies?

    I agree. That was my point. It's nice to find a kindred soul.
