I think that this might go hand in hand with what Sane reported about "The nine stages of autogenicide".  Some could make the case that this is more about capitalism, but too make money quicker instead of saving people lives doesn't sound like capitalism to me.  Sounds like genocide.  The link is here:  http://forum.prisonplanet.com/index.php?topic=2982.0

Patients get appointments for Botox faster than for moles: study     
Aug 30 12:34 AM US/Eastern

      Patients who want a Botox treatment for wrinkles get appointments with US dermatologists much faster than those with potentially cancerous moles, according to a new study.

For a Botox injection, patients waited typically for eight days, while those asking doctors to look at worrisome moles that might indicate skin cancer waited 26 days, said the study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.

The study was conducted last year by telephone with researchers posing as patients, contacting 898 dermatologists in 12 US cities.

In Boston, for example, the median wait for a Botox session was 13 days while it was nine weeks for an examination of a changing mole.

In Seattle, an injection of botulinum toxin can be arranged in less than eight days but patients had a median wait of 35 days to secure an exam for a mole.

The lead author of the study, Jack Resneck, assistant professor of dermatology at the University of California, San Francisco, wrote that it was unclear why the wait times varied so dramatically.

It was possible doctors wanted to offer faster access for Botox treatments "because of higher relative payments for cosmetic services," the study said.

" The great secret of succeeding in conversation is to admire little, to hear much; always to distrust our own reason, and sometimes that of our friends; never to pretend to wit, but to make that of others appear as much as possibly we can; to hearken to what is said and to answer to the purpose. Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed. "
