Whenever you are feeling under the weather or you have a pain that aspirin just won't fix, the first person you think of is your doctor. Naturally we all go to the doctor in hopes of figuring out what exactly is wrong with ourselves and what is the best and quickest way to fix it. What if though, the doctor doesn't really know what the right medicine to prescribe for you is and he just gives you the one that will get him the most money. Let me explain, let's say for example that you had a terrible cold with signs of a flu, you would go to the doctor expecting him to give you some pills and syrups and you'll be better in a few days, but what if the doctor hasn't seen these symptoms before? Naturally, he will not tell you that he has no idea what is wrong with you, he'll just say that you should take this, that and the other, and if you're not feeling better to come back in a couple weeks.
I have been told by someone (who will remain nameless) that he used to work for a medicine distributing company, which means that he went around to various doctors trying to sell the product that he was given by the company. The cheaper the product was that he sold to the doctor, the greater the income would be for the doctor. So with this said, wouldn't it be the smartest thing for the doctor the prescribe this product to as many patients as possible so that he gets the maximum amount of money possible? Knowing this information now, how confidant are you to go to your doctor and take the medicine he prescribes? If you take the medicine with no side effects and you feel better in a couple days, congrats! But what if you don't? That's when you'll think of me, because when you go back to the doctor for another appointment, you'll have to pay the co-pay, which of course, is just more money for the doctor! We all have the doctors that we've been going to for years and have learned to trust, and I am in no way knocking doctors because they do work miracles, I'm just asking you to think about this next time you pay him a visit (no pun intended).
