at some point, somehow, medical care stopped revolving about 'healing' and medicine became all about 'treating'. the health of the patient became subordinate to the economic incentives of the hospitals and the other involved institutions (insurance providers, pharmaceutical corporations, etc...) and so I have the hypothesis that this happened because people (young adults) going into medicine because of a vocation to help and heal others become disheartened when they find out it's all about institutional profit; only them who get into this becuase "doctors make good money" really make it to the end (which is not terrible, as they usually do learn the methods and techniques of medicine, but that in the long run prioritize money over health). health care should have never been allowed to become a capitalist marketplace.
