"take some profit from your pocket" is needlessly severe, but the sentiment that doctors are juggling too many patients resonates with me. "Doctors don't have time anywhere in the world" probably isn't accurate, but my doctor certainly never had enough time to listen to me, which caused me years of needless pain because of a simple misdiagnosis.
I was frustrated enough with engaging with medical professionals that I instead just adopted a healthier lifestyle. My last regular checkup was in '09, and I next visited a doctor in 2013 when I pulled a muscle in my chest, and wanted to make sure I wasn't having a heart attack.
Obviously my anecdote isn't proof that this is a systematic problem, but the fact that I see comments like this "in the wild" at least triggers my confirmation bias :)
