Let me start this essay by saying I do not like rapists. In general, they get away with their dirty deeds, which come in many forms beyond the sexual. There are many ways to hurt people, with doctors, medical officials and the government itself getting into the act of finding dastardly ways of destroying peoples’ lives.
Unnecessary surgery is one of the most terrible aspects of contemporary medicine. The rewards for performing such surgeries are huge, while the risks of doing them are essentially nonexistent in terms of having to face criminal charges for putting people’s lives at risk.
The same can be said for tests and treatments employing dangerous radiation as well as many other medical procedures. Physicians paid on an incentive model have every financial incentive to perform needless operations and seem to skirt around the great risks inherent in any surgical/medical procedure.
“In dentists’ and doctors’ offices, hearing aid centers and pain clinics, American health care is forging a lucrative alliance with American finance. A growing number of health care professionals are urging patients to pay for treatment not covered by their insurance plans with credit cards and lines of credit that can be arranged quickly in the provider’s office,” writes the New York Times.
Now doctors and dentists can easily give you credit to pay for medical procedures, whether the patients actually needs the surgery or some other treatment or not. This creates more undue stress because the patients really do not have the money and have to struggle even more in life to try to pay for something they cannot afford. The courts are showing how “perilous such financial arrangements can be for patients — and how advantageous they can be for health care providers,” continued Jessica Silver-Greenberg for the Times.
