FWIW None of the Doctors I know make a penny off the medications. In fact the reps rarely even offer any of the great perks of the past so we aren't even being fed or taken on vacations any more.  I think its more about egos. |
If not the medications, think about the other costs. Filling out paperwork, appointments, continuous testing (MRI, etc)...
Sadly you hit the nail on the head with the comment about egos. One of my best friends is in medicine here as a practicing doctor, and that's how he described it, egos. Mind you, he did say some with huge egos or attitudes are also some of the most intelligent people you'll ever meet. So I guess in some cases, it's toss the bedside manner out the window for knowledge? I don't know, I'm sure not a doc!
