Just a little reflection about our health care system.

This is not psychoanalytic in itself but I can not make it without recognizing its influence on me.
Here's a little tidbit I want to share with you:
Have you ever seen a law firm owned by somebody who is not a lawyer? Probably there are, but I do not know of any. Perhaps, and despite it being a very profitable business, this is because it's hard to be handled by an outsider of the field. Did you notice that the bosses in most accounting firms are usually people with a business related degree? I can't understand it! Those are not easy affairs to deal with. They require someone who has the kind of professional qualifications to deal with them. Although it is a very profitable business too, I never heard about a singer, for example, buying and managing an accountant firm as an investment.
Can you imagine an architecture studio led by somebody other than an architect? Yes, of course, there are many investors. But the head of the projects are architects.
Now lets see what happens in the health care system. Can you imagine a lawyer or an accountant at the head of a health center? Can you imagine someone without any degrees in front of a clinic? Well, you should, because that is exactly what is going on.It seems to me that something is wrong with that.
Don’t you think so?
