No I don’t think it will cost a dollar. That was hyperbole.
That's what it is, a subscription based cure.
"as long as you buy our medicine you will live!"
I sure hope it isn't like this. Medicine just enough to stave the progress of the illness but also not enough to cure it.
I find it a bit reductive to call palliative care a moneymaking scheme overall. Especially cruel to workers in the field, which is one of the toughest one as far as mental health goes.
Yeah I do understand what you are saying. And I may have gone too overboard with my pessimism. This being cancer and all.
It's just that too many bad actors have taken advantage of regular folks and their situations. It's hard not to react in a pessimistic view when there's hardly any good news to come by, or any good development that gets twisted into a nightmare of a tool just to take advantage of people's hope for better care.
I know what you're saying, but cancer being a chronic condition is great.
I agree. Would I rather have no cancer? Absolutely. But if my body is going to crank up some cancer cells anyway, I’d rather have chronic (but managed) cancer and keep living than just cancer that will kill me.
