One tidbit...more than 50% of doctors are now salaried employees of larger group practices, which have established practice guidelines on what drugs have to be prescribed for what test results, etc. ...and how long to spend with each patient. Some doctors see 40 patients a day...easier to continue to hand out pain relief than seek the cause of pain. |
Cheaper, too; to their way of thinking. Expensive operation/PT to fix that joint or a script to make them stop complaining about the pain...
Look at the BILLIONS spent on Type II diabetes, when we all know how most of those people could fix it themselves. It drives me nuts, I tell ya. |
