Exhibit #482,683 on why capitalism and medicine are inevitably a horrible combination.

And on why regulations and independent audits of product/service health effects are entirely necessary. If people could stop being such fucks and prioritising revenue, we wouldn't need a bunch of people to investigate, document and litigate their bullshit. And we wouldn't need courts to sit there and establish whether the law let's them do that in that precise way right this minute.

Greedy parasites going out there, killing us, profiting from it, and making a bunch of extra work for us, just to prove they're being greedy malicious parasites.

Company decisions should have personal consequences for the people who benefit the most from them.

people really don't seem to understand that this will never stop unless we move away from capitalism
