The issue with the medical system is similar to the issue with prisons: It has no person that is motivated to care about it.

If you are an inmate, or a patient you're just happy once you're out, and don't want to spend more of the time to fix.

And if you're a free or healthy person, why devote time to something that will likely not concern you? (It might some day, but few people are reflecting enough to realize this.)

Respect to the authors for writing this. It will, in time, make a big difference as other people read - like compound interest that accrues slowly but steadily.

I wish them all the best, hopefully one of the drug will work, and there will be some kind good way forward!
