I have made multiple comments in the past year that the endgame of the Polymarket Society is gambling in hospitals. Doctors against nurses, care teams against patients, patients against their own bodies, and surgical theatres for high stakes tables. You and your EMT will be betting on the time it takes for the ambulance to arrive, and by the time it does your kid will have played 6 hands of video poker and died. It's coming. Heaven told me this.
