As Hollywood gigs dry up, some actors have found a steady side hustle playing 'standardized patients' in hospitals to train medical students.

    Tldr it’s for doctor training. The actors roleplay patients with different weird or embarrassing symptoms and the doctors practice bedside manner and diagnosis. Actor pay is $25-30/hr. IDK how that compares to barista work if you’re getting tips.

      The pay is a lot less than what I’d have thought, given the skill involved in doing this well, but I wouldn’t think of this as dystopic at all.

    I don’t see what’s dystopic about this?
