The corruption of our medical system is systemic. The perpetrators don't even consider what they're doing is wrong. Oh, and make no mistake, they will deny wrongdoing. Here are two personal examples. First having my back checked out (two ruptured discs) I was told after the initial intake exam which included an x ray, that I needed an MRI. I asked what that was and how much it cost. When the Doctor told me, I said, I can't pay for that, and I don't have insurance (this was before I had insurance). The doctor said, Oh then never mind we can use these x rays, that's all we need. Second; my wife saw an allergy specialist, (I tagged along for emo support) a specialist that she respected due to his popularity in the hospital where she worked, who insisted she needed surgery (this was obvious because, you guessed it, he is a surgeon) and was rocking Balloon Sinuplasty as the only way to go! That is until he happened to glance at his assistants computer screen and saw the name of my wifes' insurance company and he literally changed his song mid sentence from Balloon Sinuplasty to good old regular Endoscopic surgery. I interrupted him and asked what just happened as I had noticed his seeing the computer screen and changing his story. After a-lot of song and dance he knew he was busted. He was rocking one thing until he realized my wifes' insurance wouldn't cover that procedure. He was playing the system to his own benefit. I spoke the truth and challenged him. He was caught red handed, but did not think what he did was wrong. That's just one aspect of the corruption. Sadly, there are many more.
