My old friend Dr. Marc Gorelick, who is a respected elder statesman of pediatric medicine, writes about the skewed incentives in medical care that make a hair transplant more valuable than resuscitating a newborn infant. https://startingwithcurious.com/2026/04/23/the-value-of-work/ According to the metrics used by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the American Medical Association, the hair transplant is 31-84% more valuable than resuscitating a newborn. Marc mentions circumcision without making any jokes about it, which shows greater willpower than I'm capable of, and which explains why he is a respected elder statesman of pediatric medicine and I type for a living.
