Agreed. There is a lot of low-hanging fruit when it comes to fixing medicine, at least in the US.

My father spent a lot of time in the hospital. If we didn't proactively advocate for treatment that fit his condition, and stave off redundancy, it would have cost him an incredible amount of hardship.

Good doctors ask questions.
