Another example where health care and medical practice are being manipulated for financial gain is when drug stores constantly are advertising and offering vaccines of different sort.
I felt I was being harassed, almost, when I was being offered the flu shot every time at checkout in my local pharmacy. I kept saying " no thanks" for a long time until I one day said " No thanks. And if I wanted the flu vaccine, I would have gone to my doctor's office."

I did not think that intramuscular injections or any hands on patient care was in the scoop of practice of a pharmacist.
This has been in the scoop of practice of a nurse. ( and, of course the doctor, if he/she does not have a nurse)

If one need a vaccine of any sort, it should be a discussed, decided and performed in the doctor"s office. And this way one would also safely have it in the medical records in the doctor"s office.

I think all this that are being discussed here is to be expected in a healthcare system under capitalism. It is business oriented, and there is a lot of competition. It can have good sides and bad sides.
