In the preceding snippet, mention was made of the 'deluxe pie' that many doutors had their fingers in, and that there surely were others who were attracted (like cazules) to it.
As the competition grew, so did the number and cost of medicines prescribed. Were they all necessary? Could not say for sure. Did the doentes always comply with the regimen prescribed? Almost certainly not. Did the doentes feel better? Well, some did, and those who did not, chose to consult another doutor. And what did that doutor do? He prescribed another set of even more expensive medicines. "The more expensive the medicinas, the 'more besht' the doutor!". And so ......escalated the profits of the 'farmacias','drogarias' and big Pharma, and so increased the hole in the pocket of the doentes. But were any of the doutors reading about the 'medicinas', their effects, side-effects and drug interactions? They were, were they not? Certainly, they were paying some attention to those who had appointed themselves as the new deliverers of medical updates ie. the 'mhedical rip-presentathives'. So, for those who look at healthcare mainly as an opportunity to make poixe, poixe ani more poixe without ever having studied dotorponn, it was a dream come true. While the dotors struggled to become dotors, ani amche goemcars ani goemcans ingested a buffet of medicinas, a slew of people 'who could have become dotors but chose not to' made the poixe. Xhabass! But never mind ..... Zuze, Gaspar, Pitter-Paul etc were 'woking in the Galf, no?' To be continued jc
