Ask your administrator if you think this is wrong. ===== 🗂️ Bureaucracy ===== **Bureaucracy** refers to administrative systems that prioritize process over purpose, form over function, and compliance over clarity. In medicine and academia, bureaucracy often manifests as: > *A dense web of rules, approvals, forms, and hierarchies that consume time and energy — without improving patient care or knowledge.* ==== 🧠 Examples in clinical and academic settings ==== * Endless paperwork for procedures that used to rely on clinical judgment * Research projects delayed by irrelevant ethics hoops or institutional politics * Committees formed to discuss things no one will act on * Protocols that no one questions — even when outdated or harmful * Evaluation systems that reward checkbox completion over critical thinking ==== 🚫 When bureaucracy becomes pathological ==== * When it protects itself instead of those it was meant to serve * When it punishes initiative and rewards conformity * When it drowns clinical intuition under layers of permission * When it turns thinking professionals into form-filling clerks ---- > **Bureaucracy is what happens when a system forgets why it exists.** bureaucracy.txt Last modified: 2025/06/15 18:53by administrador
