I am not sure I agree with that.  I have always heard doctors are there 
to treat you, not to cure you.  And that mostly seems to be the case.  I 
know most medical researchers are looking for treatments instead of 
cures.  I was told that if someone found a cure for the common cold it 
would destroy a multi billion dollar business.  Next time you go to 
Walmart see how many cold treatments they have versus cures.
