**Disappointing Experience: A Clear Example of Commercialization in Healthcare** I recently had a highly disappointing experience that I feel compelled to share. It is a clear example of how healthcare has become overly commercialized, where the focus seems to be on maximizing profits rather than genuinely caring for patients. From the very start, it was evident that the doctor I consulted was more interested in money than providing quality care. While the conversations initially seemed aimed at ensuring the best treatment, it quickly became apparent that everything was designed with a financial agenda. Every suggestion and discussion seemed to lead toward one goal: encouraging me to spend more money. What truly stood out was the doctor’s insistence on a new appointment, despite having a prescription that should have lasted until my next visit. There was no immediate need for additional consultation, but I was pushed to book another appointment and pay again. This felt like a deliberate attempt to squeeze extra funds from patients. It’s disappointing to see how healthcare has shifted from patient care to profit-driven agendas.
