Sheesh. For-profit hospitals are a foreign concept to me. Seems incredibly cynical to crack open someone's chest, leaving them with a very slow and painful recovery, to then think about profit instead of patient welfare.
- yostrovs 8y agoDo you think the same about farmers who optimize profits on something that sustains life itself? Doctors just make you feel better and extend life a few years at best. Farmers, though, they make you tick every day.
