The Pharmaceutical Industry does not create cures.They create customers. Does this statement holds value?

The Pharmaceutical Industry does not create cures.They create cutomers. 
Does this statement holds value?
Is it correct to generalise such an industry?
How much this statement is true? Or is the scenario changing with the advent of Pharm D?

Drugs are different from medicines/pharma products

drugs imply--- narcotic drugs
medicines imply---therapeutic drugs available on prescription

OTC medicines--- therapeutic drugs available without prescription over the counter
pharma products imply---compounded and dispensed drugs in a pharmacy

See the term "Product development" may mean differ than "drug development "in Pharmacy World . eg in case of Asthama patients use of "Aerosol inhaler" (The medication is typically stored in solution in a pressurized canister that contains a propellant or suspension. ... On activation, the metered-dose inhaler releases a fixed dose of medication in aerosol form through the actuator and into a patient's lungs). So this Pharmaceutical product consists of 2 parts - Aerosol medicine( which is the suspension drug) and Inhaler device ( which is the drug delivery device).

Sometimes it may happen that the newly invented aerosol medicine may require the drug development whereas the inhaler device may not and other times it may hapen that the already established old Aerosol medicine may not require development whereas the newly invented Inhaler drug delivery device may require the development.

So when we say Product development , it may consists of both drug and device development or atleast one of them.

Now in case of only drug development

Preclinical trials mean animal testing  and Post marketing surveilance (PMS) means Phase IV trials on humans.

Though I agree that Animal testing results may differ from Human testing results....But many times it happens that the Animal testing results extrapolate to Human testing results..... Therefore regulatory affairs professionals are concerned with post-market surveillance by the FDA at the beginning stages of product development which doesnt mean Preclinical trials (Animal testing).

Always think Pharma Camps(dispensaries) are different from Health Camps/medical camps/dental camps/physiotherapy camps/mental psychotherapy camps

Pharma Camps(Dispensaries) are different from Health Camps/medical camps/dental camps/physiotherapy camps/mental psychotherapy camps

Pharma insurance coverages are different from Health Insurance /medical insurance/dental insurance etc

Nice to know : Psychotherapy expenses are not covered under  health insurance . 

Always think ... is it Medical/ Medicinal or Pharmaceutical/Pharmacy/Pharmacognosy ?

I am strictly adamantly against about usage of terms like "medicinal" or ''medical'' in any Pharmacy sector, Creates unneccessary confusion : 
eg Medical research when actually its a pharmaceutical research
eg Medicinal Chemistry when actually its a Pharmaceutical Chemistry
eg Medical Store when actually its a Pharmacy
eg Medical Representative when actually its a Pharmacy Representative
eg Medical mnemonics when actually it is Pharmacy mnemonics(clinicaly oriented pharma mnemonics are different from industry oriented pharma mnemonics)

Medicinal means (of a substance or plant) having healing properties.
Then what is Pharmacognosy/Herbal/

'Medical examination' is when you get yourself checked out by a doctor to see if your are healthy. You could look up the two words in the dictionary, but the main thing is that plants are not primarily medical, but they have healing properties like medicines...that is the meaning of "medicinal".
