Abstract

Can we claim the doctors and patients for seeking to deceive the system, in search of personal benefit (medical certificates to justify cosmetic surgeries, reuse the health system duplicating efforts of the same, look for "agents and means" that carry out a scheduled surgery, "Take patients" from the public system to their private clinics), when elites skip their turn to vaccinate their relatives? The crisis of the pandemic uncovers the corruption of political and economic elites, greed and privilege at the level of nations and within societies; phenomena that are not new, and that did not decrease in the crisis, but rather increased in the last year.
