Paradox of Medical care

It is known to all now that advances in modern medical care have not contributed in enhancing survival among really sick. What we see in modern hospitals is a mere business where a critically sick is being kept in air cooled ventilators surrounded by untried people with somber faces and denying him a peaceful death before the dear ones.

There are multispecialty and super specialty hospitals in Kerala when even a dead man is admitted and charged Rs 50000 as fee for declaring him dead. I think all hospitals work as profit making business establishments where care and compassion are forgotten stories.
