When we are in the hospital we are totally at the mercy of the doctors. No bargains. Why? Because the doctors have the sole access to the information of us. While we, most of the time, know nothing. There is a huge information gap at play here. That is why hospitals are among the places where a few people dictate over a majority. Our only way to fight against it is to know something about our health at least, and best if we can get to the point that the doctors will not be able to fool us. They sit behind the desks and look at us, reprimand us and pity us as helplessly foolish. What they don't see is the fact that they are not really so smart as they thought themselves to be. The reality is the result of information asymmetry.
All the suffering and exploitation of humanity are all because of information are not in the hands of the people who needs them most.
