It's a comic from 2006, that was taught in medical school's business class as a "joke", on which they then spent the semester learning how to skirt. Source: medical school. Is it all of the doctors? Obviously not.

Ah, sorry, I didn't know the context. I've seen people argue this seriously and it drives me up the wall because it sounds convincing at face value.

No worries, mate. I figured it was a misunderstanding. The internet is full of it haha Yeah, PART of the problem is capitalism. But most doctors are fine to great (with a minority few that are truly bad), with much of the blame lying on the insurance companies.

In terms of the research and researchers: well, science takes time.
