I dont think they are working very hard to cure others, otherwise they would teach preventive medicine. As far as my observation goes, none of the drugs they prescribe have zero side effects or cures an ailment 100%.
1. Yes there are irreputable, indecent corrupt people in every field and some doctors may be influenced to try one drug over another one when they are the same compound or they meet the same requirements if a pharma rep has left boxes of samples to give out to patients for free. BUT No NOT all doctors get paid by pharma to prescribe unnecessary or wrong medication to patients. Even if they could, some doctors have morals and they won't do it. Please stop and think about your statement, trying to "correct" you would be meaningless if that is what you believe, but I assure you the repercussions would be fatal/devastating if that was the case. So you are wrong, DEAD wrong I might add if those are the doctors in your world.
2. It is not only a lie but an irresponsible statement to say doctors do not teach preventive medicine, it is not even their job to teach anyone anything, plus most of the time, they get you when you already have a problem. BUT every time they advice a patient not to smoke or to watch their diet or whatever, they are in fact imparting preventive guidelines, patients have a responsibility and the most interest in their well being.
3. It is irresponsible to say doctors/medical personnel do not work very hard to cure others and it shows your total lack or even the basic knowledge of what goes on in every hospital, in every city all over the world. If you ever have a chance go sit at an emergency room/trauma center for just one shift...
4. What in this world that is human powered works 100%, all of the time, only GOD omnipotent has that ability. Doctors are not GODS they are practitioners of a science and like all humans some are better and/or more responsible than others, conditions and circumstances apply. Absolutely there is room for improvement and checks and balances should apply in the medical field. But your personal bias or observations are exactly worth: ZERO. When confronted with reality.
5. What do you do for a living (I pray you are no where near in caring for anyone's well being be they human or animal) if you do not mind sharing? PLEASE show us perfection in all it's glory. Thank you.
