Capitalism is wonderful.
Provided the subject is surgery, and provided one happens to be in the wealthiest 1/3 of the world’s population.
That group receives 75% of all surgery performed each year.
The middle 1/3, by wealth, receives 21% of all surgery performed each year.
The bottom 1/3, by wealth, of the world’s population, receives 4% of all surgery performed every year.
Triage is wonderful.
