There Was No Golden Age of Medicine

Similar thing with showers.

there's a clear negative relationship between water pressure and consumption. More powerful showers use less water overall. A higher pressure shower gets people feeling clean faster. Turns out low pressure showers don't conserve water after all, so there's another attempt to reduce demand that backfired.

This is all too often true. Having been an admin for a short while at a troubled hospital, I thought that advocating for patients and healthcare workers was universally the clear right thing to do... but it turns out that if you're in a sketchy place then they want you to maintain the status quo and be a yes man no matter what - doing the "right" thing is often punished. I self ejected from that role due to many of higher ups directly professionally and physically threatening me.

Luckily I moved on to a much better hospital and my current job is 100x better with everyone on the same page for both patients and workers.

I have held a few of these roles with similar inclinations from the top admin. Did you wind up going back to being a "regular" anesthesiologist.
Academic centers are even more of an issue with this type of setup.

Yep - I’m just a regular old anesthesiologist now. It’s great!
