Erm, are you actually suggesting that these ailments don't exist?

The label helps determine a general set of problems and the best way to
go about solving them. If someone comes in with an infection, for
example, you can show them all the love in the world but until you
determine that it's an infection of type ____ and requires
anti-biotics, it's not going to get any better.

Ford, DaimlerChrysler, Honda, and Mitsubishi don't operate out of love,
either. Nonetheless, their products do get you from Point A to Point B.
Generally speaking, profit-driven medicine does work. The problem is
not the product, the problem is how it's distributed and how it's
managed.
