Sadly, history of medicine shows that discoverers of medicine did not
become filthy rich. I know why: They worked hard, and discovered
genuine diseases and their causes. Obviously it only works with
false diseases and their false treatments.
While talking about disease and treatment: there is evidence that
large numbers of unnecessary surgeries are done, especially on rich
patients - and especially in poorer societies. That kind of thing
has not succeeded in destroying my trust in the goodness of human
nature, but it has severely been shaking it.
