Why is cancer still around?
Ever wondered why there is so little to be found about caner prevention? Ever wondered why chemotherapy is allowed (read: poison your patient until he almost dies, since he would have died from the cancer anyway…), but stem-cell research is not allowed in order to cure cancer?
- because cancer is big business for the drug and medicine companies,
- because cancer brings in lots of money for the hospitals.
I just checked fathers’ hospital bill and although we took all his medicine from home, the hospital charges us a flat fee for medicine. Go and complain you say? Well: it is stated clearly in the hospital bill:
we charge this flat fee for medicine a day, even if the patient doesn’t take it…
Add to that the specialist fee; when he walks through the corridor and has a look inside a patients room, he can charge one consultancy fee…
Next time you wonder why you have cancer and why there is no cancer cure, you know…:
Cancer? it’s nothing personal, it’s just business

I disagree with the logic that cancer is around because it is a business. People get cancer for all sorts of reasons - poor prevention (people still smoke and burn themselves under the sun to get a tan) or unlucky genetics to name a couple of those reasons. It is true that healthcare providers and drug companies generate a revenue from the products and services around cancer. However, the implication that somehow there is no cure for cancer or even a causation of cancer because there is a conspiracy of greed seems in my personal opinion a flawed overgeneralization.
