The contemporary healthcare landscape is one of great paradox: while technology advances, iatrogenesis—the production of harm by medical intervention—has emerged as a pervasive systemic crisis. This medical nemesis functions through a triad of clinical errors (now the third leading cause of death), the medicalization of human existence, and a cultural shift that destroys our autonomous ability to cope with pain and mortality. As the medical-industrial complex exerts regulatory capture over the agencies meant to protect us, profit motives frequently supersede patient welfare, leading to the institutionalization of clinical mediocrity and the use of unvalidated surrogate endpoints for drug approval. To reclaim our health, we must dismantle this death-dance of medicalized ceremonies and restore moral agency. This necessitates shifting toward a paradigm that views health not as a commodity, but as the personal capacity to confront the human reality of sickness and death. #Iatrogenesis #MedicalNemesis #MedicalError #PatientSafety #RegulatoryCapture #MedicalIndustrialComplex #FDACapture #BigPharma #Medicalization #MedicalAutonomy #MoralAgency #DiagnosticImperialism #SurrogateEndpoints #AcceleratedApproval #EvidenceBasedMedicine
