Doctor Forces Surgery To Meet Target, Patient Dies

I have been critical of some Doctors who have become crass after money and for unethical practices like accepting gifts from Pharma Companies, forcing patients to take unnecessary medicines.

The scenario worsened after the entry of Corporates into Medicare making Medicare a Hospitality Industry.

Many of the Corporate run hospitals are meant for Star Hotel Luxury than for patient Care.

You may some of my posts under Medicine, Consumer forum.

Now emerges a shocker.

A Doctor in Uk forced operation on a patient to meet his 'Target!'

He met his Target but the patient died.

There is another case where a Doctor forced three operations on a patient, patient died.

Corporates mean profit, Profit means Sales 'Targets"

This evil can be eradicated only by patients going to Doctors who thorough checks you up physically,does not prescribe a battery of Tests , who listens to your problem , most importantly does not work in a Corporate run Hospital, and who does not have a Fancy Title or Degree.
