Greed

摘要

Greed, now there is a subject to turn off a medical audience, to send patients packing. I know, having been laughed off the podium for broaching the subject at a medical meeting, this despite the "Me" generation's glorification of greed in films such as Wall Street} Granted that the exchange of money, albeit tax money, information, medications, and information between doctor and patient is generally respected as an ethical enterprise yet with the doctor and patient relationship it is never out of place to cock a clinical eye at any nidus of greed.
