I agree that much of the medical industry is run solely by money, and its truly dispicable that someone with hundreds of millions of dollars would bring pain and suffering to others, just so they can earn a couple of millions more. I do believe though, that most people in the field are doing hard, honest work trying to help people, it is why they chose their line of work.
Because lets be honest, there are very few people that is a doctor or medical scientist because they just LOVE doing a repetetive thing over and over, testing thousands of gels to put on a burnt piece of pork to test what works the best to cool a second degree burn, then write down information about countless of experiments that dident work. Of course i understand that their workday is different than that, but the people who choose to work in the medical field, most likely work there because they care about other people to begin with, and not because whatever work they do looked super fun when they were 18 years old trying to choose a career path.
Even if most of the medical industry consists of lazy, entitled assholes whose only goal is to earn money, then that is not their blame in my opinion. If medical science is really such hard work that they dont bother doing it with all of their heart, then that is human nature at work, reacting to its environments and adjusting to it. If it is true that they are all assholes, then if you entered the medical field with all good intentions, you would probably also become one of those assholes.

And do not forget, cancer is not one type of cell in one place of the body that can be eradicated by one drug or a supplement. Cancer can develop in hundreds of areas in the body, and no case of cancer is the same, which is why it is so hard to cure completely.
I think that if it were the fact that they are just assholes looking to earn money, then alot more common sicknesses would be deemed only treatable and we would all take a shot a week to keep sore throat and pimples away.

It might be really inappropriate of me to write this, but its late at night and i feel like i need to get it of my chest. Lets just hope that a breakthrough will happen soon, appreciate what we got now, and do the little things we believe can help. Being negative about the situation will only lessen your life quality, but understandably, its much easier to be negative than positive when it comes to these kinds of things. Stay strong and hope you can keep worshipping Alizée as long as possible
Never regret posting your feelings in here. The only thing to worry about is whether it's in the right forum, but that obviously is one thing that's never been a problem here.

There's a lot of greed an corruption in this world, but there is a tremendous amount of good too, and that good is why we are here. I'm sure Alizée is far from perfect, but we've learned over the years, the great values she has. She's a woman with incredibly high standards and I think she herself doesn't realize that. But it's one of the main reasons, even though her singing career has had problems, that I follow her every day.
