As we men of medicine grow in learning we more justly appreciate our dependence on each other. The sum total of medical knowledge is now so great and wide spreading that it would be futile for any one man ... to assume that he has even a working knowledge of any part of the whole ... The best interest of the patient is the only interest to be considered, and in order that the sick may have the benefit of advancing knowledge, union of forces is necessary ... It has become necessary to develop medicine as a cooperative science; the clinician, the specialist, and the laboratory workers uniting for the good of the patient, each assisting in elucidation of the problem at hand, and each dependent upon the other for support. -William J. Mayo

Yes, I would say practising medicine for something other than personal gain would qualify as communistic. That is why I refuse to get the polio vaccine; I would sooner die than support communism.
yup and it saved lots of lives.
I'm feeling that you and I have bonded over the life of this thread.
Spoken like a true support of truthiness.
What I don't want to see:
Absolutely no mention of the word "bourgeoisie"
No victory gin
