That is an oversimplified false dichotomy. Since it is possible to do well financially while practicing good medicine on patients they truly care about, many if not most do so. True, fraudsters grab headlines, but you can't sell newspapers describing the norm.ReaderAisha2020 wrote: ↑June 7th, 2021, 4:21 pmI thought that was a good point. We forget how hard doctors have to work and how they sacrifice their lives and time for the health and benefit of others. Perhaps the author is an example of that herself. She says that she did not have the time to check up on herself and she now has cancer. We also hear many stories about people catching coronovirus from patients and dying or being severely effected. Therefore, there are people who make a business out of healthcare, but there are probably many sincere doctor s and others who sincerely want to save and benefit the lives of people, even putting others before themselvesSushan wrote: ↑June 3rd, 2021, 11:43 amI agree. There are rules and regulations as well as ethical practices that are related to medical services not only because it is a noble service, but also because it deals with human lives and emotions. But at most occasions people do not think about this service provider. How hard he has to work, how difficult it is to spend sleepless nights, how difficult it is to be without food and water not because of anything but of lack of time. So it is of utmost importance to take care of the service providers for the continuation of the services in a good standard.Akgreat82 wrote: ↑June 3rd, 2021, 7:20 am Healthcarel profession renders services that directly impact on human well-being, it's a profession that demands sound ethical practice because it's deals with human lives and those in the profession are expected to seen genuinely caring for their customers.
Be that as it may, there is also the need for the healthcare professionals to be adequately taken care of, so there a thing line between healthcare as a service and it being a business outfit.

Re: My review about Surviving the Business of Healthcare
and that not attract most readers, despite the fascinating story and human sentiments within it, because it objects to a system within a particular state in the author's country, which may not impress the readers or arouse their curiosity, but the whole story is first-class humanitarian.Iam rating it 4 out of 4 star

Re: Surviving the Business of Healthcare - Reviews
The book, also gives readers an overview of every minute financial aspect of healthcare from seeking insurance coverage to investing in stocks of healthcare oriented compensation. But at no point, do you feel overwhelmed by the information provided as it has been written in a simple, succinct and direct manner.
A particularly sensitive and empathetic section included in the book is, the one in which she has used her professional insights to suggest certain hacks by which patients can afford efficient yet cost-effective medical care. Considering that seeking medical services is often financially stressful to many families, these tips would definitely prove useful to many.
I would recommend this book to anyone, who sees themselves becoming a part of the healthcare industry or to anyone, who is worried about how they will be able to deal with a healthcare crisis in their family circle. This book will leave you empowered to ensure you seek only the best of medical services for yourself and others in the future.
