Quite the contrary, doctors prefer a personal approach and researchers have been trying to reign them in because the science is very clear: playing "by the book" and not over-personalizing diagnosis or care leads to better medical outcomes for everything but long term pain management and mental health care.

This is not MBAs run amok, that's people starting to listen to the science and act on it.

Now, if you want to see where things go wrong we'd look to how hospitals bill and suppliers set prices.

It is really immaterial how you or I want to interpret it when the data is quite clear.
