>Doctors do not order tests out of personal concern for patient's well-being to start healing them

I don't order server rebuilds because out of personal concerns for a companies well-being. WTF kind of standard is this. Maybe if we had 10x as many doctors we could afford some personalism with our healthcare workers.

>High-tech is able to supplant "safe, inexpensive and effective" by virtue of profit margins, patents, marketing, and customer perception.

No, again, 40 years ago, you just would have died of your ailment, or had life long suffering. With increased insurance coverage along with increased treatment offerings more people want and are willing to get what affects them diagnosed. Meanwhile we've not increased the number of healthcare workers at the same rate, and increasing with individual workers is very difficult and expensive.

Honestly your post history is concerning. It appears everything is a vast conspiracy against you.
