Love the article.

However, one of the last sentences: "surgeons try to sell surgery" might be true in many cases. Maybe even in most. But there certainly are exceptions. A conscientious surgeon will not sell surgery. My father is a surgeon, yet, he is forever talking people OUT of surgery. He is of the opinion that surgery is great when needed, but it ALWAYS carries risks so the need for the surgery needs to be quite high to outweigh these risks. He and his colleague, an anaesthetist, were urging me to avoid interventions and epidurals (not that I wanted them) unless really necessary.
So there certainly are doctors that have their patients health and best interest at heart, not their bank account.
