There's been a critical spotlight on Australia's medical industry lately. Like gouging the medicare system or skirting regulations to profiteer off the insane demand for semiglutide weight loss drugs like Ozempic (couple of links below).

If you were a young, idealistic doctor (or an experienced idealistic doctor) I could imagine feeling incredibly disheartened when you see this kind of thing going on around you.

For the regulators I think the challenge they have is how to minimise the damage of the "bad" medical professionals (or weed them out of the system entirely) while not crushing the spirit of the good ones. I certainly don't know the answer.
