The medical system has become just another corrupted industry. The incentives are no longer aligned with curing anything. Chronic conditions = recurring revenue, so best to keep as many folks chronically ill for as long as possible. Repeated screenings in the absence of symptoms = prospecting for more recurring revenues without analyzing cost/benefit. Med schools no longer require recitation of the Hippocratic oath. Pharma owns medical journals, media and politicians via funding, advertising and lobbying.

"prognosis is so bad that it is no longer even serving the public interest"
This reminds me of the movie Prometheus ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1446714/ ), everything is a danger.
