Usually we get carried away by such filmy-style monologues, dialogues, debates, satires, etc., but...👌👌👌👌 But then there is also a flip side to this: doctors not only need to study a lot but also remember a lot and do a lot of practice to be able to give 'treatments.' Note the word 'treatments'; allopathic doctors never say we will cure (unlike other alternative medical systems).
They say we do surgery and procedures after finding out through diagnosis what needs to be done to give the best 'treatment.'
Now, coming to the system and money, why is the mindset all over the world about the profits that pharma, hospitals, and doctors make?
For all their knowledge, works, etc., it is nothing compared to film stars, models (of both sexes), senior advocates, politicians, successful middlemen, etc., most of whom make a hundred times the money for half the efforts, responsibilities, knowledge-based, empirically end-result-oriented methods (for which huge spending is required for R&D), practical feasibility (because human anatomy is indeed, despite centuries of research, a difficult maze, especially when one has illness, injury, disease, etc.), universal applicability (need not be and cannot be 100% perfect), and universal accessibility and availability.
All these involve costs, and who is going to pay for them?
From years of R&D to manufacturing to marketing to administration to equipment costs to professional fees, etc., who will pay for them?
Why does no one ever question the exorbitant cost of branded cars, cosmetics, luxury items, and worst of all, unhealthy branded packed food items, both solid and liquid (ordinary beverages) and so-called seasoned wines (a liter costs sometimes a few lakhs)?
Pharma and hospitals are not a nasty nexus to loot but nice networks to reboot health, which has had some issues.
This anti-health care professional or anti-health care industry stance is a populist whip used by many, starting from George Bernard Shaw till now.
Only doctors and patients who are sick and injured know the amount of remedy, repair, and relief they get.
Every human being is personally responsible for his or her health (physical, mental, emotional, psychological, spiritual, legal, professional, use of material comforts, and social).
If one fails to take responsibility or, due to bad destiny, happens to face health issues that need immediate care and treatment, the entire health care industry, starting from ambulance drivers to doctors to hospital owners, comes to the rescue.
These populist videos and documentaries many can make, but they hide the other side of the story.
Many of those who do such projects, when they have a problem, run to the nearest hospital.
