alt Hacker NewsI've seen doctors that:
1. Immediately said 'Cancer' to stomach issues on an old person. They just didn't care, another doctor resolved that.
2. Eye doctors that would not investigate anything and just prescribe eye glasses and would recommend local companies that they owned or had a stake in.
3. Fake gynecologists that did C-Sections brutally without any experience
4. Fake plastic surgeons with no experience just going by word of mouth taking rich peoples money
5. Fertility doctors doing human egg-trafficking.
6. General doctors forcing appendectomy if under-18s came to the hospital with any stomach complains (they could not refuse, doctor got money for the surgery)
Sure, human body is complex. That wasn't my point.

In what context did you witness all these cases?
It's one thing to know these cases exist because they all have been reported in the news or having made a note of it through separate and unrelated word of mouth interactions, but one person having direct experience of all these cases is unusual for a civilian (ie non-medical or healthcare professional).
Where I'm from half of these points mean actual jail time for the physician attempting them, most of the rest (like kickbacks) result in standing in front of an ethics committee.
