I find this a bizarre way to assume that a person who has committed their entire lives to helping people would behave.

- gosub100 2y agoInsurance companies in the US have armies of doctors whose sole purpose is to deny care to sick people. CA health system is less fucked, but no reason to think this system is exempt from various forms of corruption. Families wanting to fast-forward their inheritance, romance scammers trying to marry people who they can manipulate into this, doctors who want to get rid of difficult patients. That's just off the cuff what I could think of.

The most highly respected doctors working for the most highly respected governments were sterilizing, surgically dehumanizing and murdering men, women and small children for the greater good of society. Doctors being some kind of benevolent super-humans is a cartoon fantasy.
