Am I an antagonist vs the Pharma industries and Doctors and Hospitals?
I can not afford to do that at this point. I am a senior citizen and I will be soon needing constant health care and medical attention. Age would catch up with me and affect my health.
I used to be a pharma rep, my sister and many of my relatives are MDs. I teach at a GSB and have had several hundreds of MDs as friends and students. Many miracles/cures are through modern pharma drugs and hospital procedures.
But like any other good things, too much of good things/excesses could be poisonous, and hence some moderation is needed for the above industries. Things have gone out of control: practices, values, to the detriment of the patients, society, and even health care at large.
Hence this site.
Health care in the Western world has been expensive and unaffordable; the rest of the world is following suit. The Indian hospitals has been leading the way in socialized health care, where treatments are ridiculously low low low: $1t+ heart bypass, $10 hemodialysis,. Big pharma and hospital appetite profit is partly to blame. Who will take care of the sick, especially those who are poor?
