You are right and the medical community will have to lie their way out of this until its just a memory if that ever happens,which is unlikely. Doctors and nurses are responsible for untold agony to their once valued patients if they ever were valued.
On the other hand most young Physicians have put their entire lives into attaining their credentials and they are far less willing to stand up to Hospital Administrators or to resist expressed protocols, especially early in their careers. It never happens.
