Doctors are arrogant, the truth is that for the majority of serious diseases they don't have effective treatments nevermind cures and don't even know the causes of most diseases and disorders as of yet they have the attitude that they are great healers and scientists.
on the positive side, we are on the verge of a great leap forward in medicine thanks to technology, where cures not 'treatments' will be possible.

Some of these treatments are incredibly cost-prohibitive, too. As mentioned above, the remicaid program my wife was just approved for is over $4000 per infusion treatment. Thankfully we have medical benefits through her company that cover almost all of it...but we're among the lucky ones.
$4 grand - bloody hell. That's just insane.
And the side effects can be wicked. Doctors discovered on her previous medication that it was causing 'retinal toxicity' which could potentially lead to permanent blindness. It only happens in 5% of patients on that particular drug - but thankfully they caught it early with her and we've discontinued that infusion drug.
Great healers and scientists? Sometimes I really wonder. More like distributors for the mega pharmaceutical companies.
