My mom lived six months longer than anyone else in her clinical trial cohort when she was dying of brain cancer. Not a single doctor in her research hospital cared about how they were going to make money off of a penniless, dying cancer patient. They were just trying to help. I know it's easy to be bitter and jaded with our Healthcare system, especially when you've lost someone you love horrifically, but this "they make money by keeping you sick" narrative does researchers such a disservice and isn't true.
