My partner studies how and why mainstream hospitals are turning increasingly to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Interestingly, one reason is that many current doctors burnt out (because of the conditions described in the article and developed chronic and/or psychological conditions either in med school or practicing. These doctors (or soon-to-be-doctors) find that CAM offers better remedies for many chronic conditions, which the current biomedical stack really isn't optimized to handle. Then when they finish med school, they're in a privileged position to confer institutional legitimacy on CAM treatments. So in some sense, this brutality is changing medicine more generally.
