>> I'm not saying that doctors have this goal. Maybe not an explicit goal, but I think it's pretty easy for say an anesthesiologist who blows into the OR, talks to the patient (maybe) for 30 seconds, then powers through the surgery and on to the next one to lose touch with the core motivations for why they are there. In fact anyone who works with sick and hurt people needs to develop this dettachment as a survival mechanism. The administrators who create and operate these money machines are never connected with the patients in the first place. Not unlike a lot of software developers in this aspect!
