having been through this exact situation, I get the point of the meme, and realize their intent was that "doctor" should be read as "healthcare industry". Just poor word choice. Other side of the story, the healthcare professionals that cared for him where wonderful and did everything they could for him and I am totally OK with them getting paid for their efforts.

Usually nobody talks how much it costs when it's free.
This is a shit take.
Doctors don’t discuss billing with patients, or their families. American healthcare is fucked enough in reality without making enemies of those trying to just do their fucking job.
I’m too European to understand this
Next week, it's gonna be auto mechanic's fault you can't get Disney in your Tesla.
Don't give doctors a bad name like that. They work their asses off to help people and go many years being overworked and underpaid to do it
It's the insurance companies that reap the benefits of people's misfortune
I'm with you but it's not the doctor it's the hospital administrators who live like the CEO of a Fortune 500 company.
For real, I know there are exceptions, but I've worked with tons of doctors and not one gave two shits about someone's ability to pay. They would often argue with administration to help people who couldn't pay
