And that is the key right there Jim, in that the DSM IV manual in which diagnosis are made, also includes the writing in regard to whether the symptoms where present before the trauma. If the symptoms are present only after the trauma, then PTSD is the desiring condition, not the symptoms and conditions uniquely that makeup PTSD itself.

Basically, there is no money is curing or healing people, only repeat medication and non-productive counselling, ensuring they never get better, regardless that they are too a human being.

The physicians I know that are 110% focused on their patients, are not the rich one's. Sure, they still get paid well, and so they should for their education, but they are often not the one's driving around in $250,000 Merc's, and the typical materialistic list that goes with that lifestyle. They are grounded, focused and their patients come first.

It reminds me of a movie actually, "Evil Woman", where she is a psychiatrist and charges hundreds per hour, doesn't give a shit, drives her BMW, is uptight, snobbish, etc etc... Its a comedy, but the part in which she acts as the psychiatrist who is too important to give anyone her real time, just stands out to me as an example explaining what is happening to our health arena.

I don't see the point in being a doctor if you don't care about your patients. Careing always gets a much better response IMO. Careing gets word of mouth referrals, it gets satisfaction that you have done good, it gets repeat customers.... Greed clouds their minds of real marketing, and being a doctor is about marketing when in private practice. They just haven't learnt it, or they got fed the wrong marketing advice of "be a cold hard shit, charge the earth, have no warmth for your patient in order to protect you from transferance and never heal them fully."
