I'm curious, what do you think the difference is between a "cure" and a "treatment"? I imagine when you think cure you think about a pill that you take once and it uncancers you instantly. But wouldn't that also be a treatment? I get that you're criticizing the medical industry for financially draining patients, but what would stop someone from charging any exorbitant price for a pill that instantly cures your cancer?
- RyanAdamas 2y agoA cure is something that solves a health condition 100% of the time. A treatment is a prolonged procedure with only a chance of success. One is a profit generating machine, the other loses customers. You know, a cure - like what they pretended the vaccine was that somehow was forced through the almost impossible system of medical approvals that has stalled real cancer research for decades.

- pfdietz 2y agoA cure is something that completely obliviates the problem on a particular patient. It doesn't have to work on every patient. And, of course, medical treatments can be very valuable even if they fall short of a "cure".
