Not at all. And never said that. Why do you have to build a strawman in every post? And why didn't you answer the question? It's baffling how you're so afraid of a discussion. I can only conclude that you realize you are incapable of supporting and defending your position.The "fundamental purpose" varies from institution to institution. Some are "teaching" hospitals with the "fundamental purpose" of training tomorrow's healthcare providers. Others are "research" hospitals with a "fundamental purpose" of breakthroughs on cures and treatments. Still others are focused on strictly providing care.Too broad. That varies drastically from institution to institution. You need to be much more specific than that. That question illustrates you lack of knowledge on the subject matter (and your immaturity). For instance:Ask a way [sic.]!
What do you believe is the purpose of hospitals, clinics, and medical personnel, i.e., health care?
St. Jude's hospital provides healthcare to children at no cost to the families. They operate on fundraising.
The Cleveland Clinic hospital on the other hand charges a lot of money but uses those profits to conduct some of the most advanced research in the world to advance the healthcare industry and save lives.
Both hospitals but each with a vastly different focus and goal. It is clear in your mind the answer was "to help people" or "to cure people". You have the simplistic (not to mention inaccurate) views of a small child. Would you like to continue? I'm willing but it seems as though this will be a painful exercise due to your lack of knowledge about the topic.
So you wouldn't agree that the fundamental purpose is to treat people who are sick or injured?
Now let me ask you something - what do you believe is the purpose of a car dealership?
So you're unaware that teaching hospitals treat patients? My, my.
