That goes for other prescriptions as well, by the way. They are paid bonuses for signing patients for the newest script. My mom saw it in action over 35 years ago. Someone comes in with a complaint, they get a script. A few months go by. Same patient comes in with new complaint. Another script. A few more months. New complaint. New script. And the circle continues until the patient needs surgery, chemotherapy, or needs professional care. Medicine changed from a profession sustaining the quality of life to an industry peddling chemical cocktails to underinformed consumers who don't know any better.
Our trauma medicine is some of the best in the world. Putting someone back together after a car accident or another traumatic event is outstanding. That is good medicine.
A friend of mine who moved here from Africa, who had several miscarriages due to health problems, now has 3 beautiful, thriving children. That is good medicine.
Immunization was good. Now it is corrupted.
