The Dark Side of Altruism: How Corporate Medicine Weaponizes Doctor's Compassion

Doctors dedicate their lives to helping others, often sacrificing their own time, energy, and well-being in the process. But what happens when that altruism — the very compassion that drives us — is manipulated and weaponized? In this live stream, we’ll dive into the dark side of altruism in healthcare, exposing how corporate medicine systematically exploits doctors’ empathy for profit.

We’ll talk about the pressures placed on physicians to do more with less, the emotional blackmail hidden within hospital culture, and the way large healthcare systems turn a doctor’s compassion into a business model. This isn’t just about doctors — patients are affected too, because when physicians are stretched thin, both care quality and human connection suffer.

Together, we’ll unpack why this happens, how it impacts the future of medicine, and what can be done to reclaim the heart of healthcare. If you’ve ever wondered why burnout is skyrocketing among doctors, or why medical care feels increasingly impersonal, this conversation is for you.
