It is absolutly mind boggling the amount of drugs some of my patients take on a daily basis and still function. It would scare the crap out of you if you knew the level of legal narcotics people are on while driving our roads every single day.


And it won't stop untill they start putting those LAZY Dr's in jail. They are no better than the guy selling crack on the street corner and should be treated accordingly.

Doctors don't make money from pharm companies anymore. They prescribe medicine because it's much easier to treat the symptoms than to work on the root cause. They also know if they tell Billy Bob and Bertha to get some exercise and quit eating junk , they are wasting their breath. It's easier to just prescribe a BP medicine and some Type II diabetes medicine.

Now, you do have some doctors who will prescribe anything as long as you pay them. Steroids, anti depressants, pain meds, etc can all be gotten as long as you pay for those visits. The medical industry does some great work but big pharma and lazy doctors contribute a good deal towards a complacent and dependent general public.
