Do you really respect doctors for growing their business? I would look down at a doctor whose mind is on money. When I really need a doctor, I sure do look for the best, not the one with the most patients.
your opinion of doctors is probably off. i'm married to a doctor (in the US) and i would say 4/5 doctors i meet spend most of their time talking and thinking about money. there are lots of reasons for this (some valid), but assume your doctor has money on the mind
Well, let's hope they still think of the interest of their patients first or that the incentives are aligned. Also, in the US, everything is more money oriented than in Europe which may explain the difference of views here. I grew up in a family of doctors and they didn't see their job as a business, but rather as a public service.
