“derisking” is just making explicit the agency problems that came to light in the financial crisis. If private money isn’t being rewarded for bearing some of the risk, what is it for? Such a stupid idea.

This. One of the dangerous things about chronical pain that I think might be underappreciated is that it blinds you to signals that in a healthy person would cause them to seek medical help. When doctors ask now I always caveat that I’m a poor witness of my own wellness because there have been times when I felt like I was doing fine but in fact needed surgery. I don’t know how doctors (or occupational health, or social workers, or carers) do it, there’s basically no reliable information in talking to an ill person but that’s like 90% of what you have to go on.
