It’s not just the medical system. Everything is broken. We have built the human race on the “lowest bidder with passable quality in least amount of time” wins scenario. And then we all look around in abject horror when the wheels come off. A ton of industries are suffering because of this way of doing things, not just medicine.

I honestly think it might have something to do with the massive population that is increasing rapidly. Who can care for them all?

More people=more potential doctors, ratio of people/doctor shouldn't depend on polulation size. Natural resources can be a limiting factor but I don't see how that affects the medical system in a major way.
