If incentives rule, you should never, ever, under any circumstance, seek medical treatment.

The incentive is to make everyone who shows up at the hospital maximally sick, ideally with illnesses that require as many tests and treatments and possible.

You can't trust your friends or family either. The hospital may have paid them to try to convince you.
