Maybe as a pediatrician he could use this to point the fingers at big medicine and big pharma who work on ways to get the most lucrative treatments rather than work for the cure. Barely any money goes into viral pathogen cancer treatment or other attempts at a cure.
I was talking to a friend's wife yesterday, she just had a double mastectomy and was told her insurance is not going to pay for her Chemo pills anymore even though she has to take them for three more years. That is $5,000 a month she will have to come out of pocket because of people who live only to make the maximize profit off of others suffering. I hate the concept of for profit treatment.
Hospitals don't care about patients, they care about the profits. Same with pharmaceutical companies, there is no money in a cure.
So prayer is all that's left and it's sad.
