The whole system has been going wrong for decades. There probably still are a lot of people in it who are good and want to do good, but the ones who try to fight for that openly tend to be squashed, kicked out, forced to leave, leave in frustration, or just give up and keep quiet, because the ones running the system are most focused on money rather than healing. And that presumably selects for having more bad doctors and nurses, those ones who don't care.
The one well known example for "money over everything else" would be the Good Nurse serial killer who was able to keep working for 16 years because the hospitals where he worked didn't want a scandal even if they probably knew, or at least were able to guess that he was killing patients, so they just terminated his contract instead of trying to prove he was, so he could then go and find a job in another hospital. And kept killing. He may have killed something like 400 patients, was sentenced to under 30 murders.
