But zombies make for complaint and silent patients... easier for them... and no complaints.
True. Many doctors are more medication dispensers than doctors.
Many years ago we had a family doctor that once prescribed chicken soup to my mother. Too bad he stopped working as a doctor to dedicate his time to the newly made Lisbon mosque.
After that we had another that simply didn't care about the patients. When my elder sister talked to him about my father (who had prostate cancer) and about what we could his answer was mostly to tell my sister that my father was old so it was normal to have cancer and die from it.
When my younger sister had depression she was prescribed several medications, some just to compensate the strong effect of the anti-depressive drugs. A doctor that does not care just prescribes the anti-depressants, some of them with the interesting side-effect of making people suicidal.
