Did you notice she did not, or could not, on the Tube, tell people about the freebies that go along with prescribing these drugs. Doctors have said that in public, but probably due to legal issues she might get sued for acknowledging giving money or trips as incentives, shall we say

Many doctors are not like that, they are sincere and maybe too smart to except gifts, but many do take what they can.

Even the doctors staff love visiting reps to come in. They get freebies too. Smaller things like pens, pencils, pads, tissues, soaps for the bathroom, paper clip dispensers and lots of candies, fruit baskets, a catered lunch I saw at one of my doctors, and cookie deliveries around the holidays. I have seen it all, many times.

How they down-play the bad side-effects of drugs they push, is the worst criminal behavior, IMO.

Yes, true. The Internet can help many of us, but some people in nursing homes, or live without funding for Internet services, and those who believe their doctor, because their doctor said to take this and that and don't ask why, really gets to me.

Some doctors kick you to the curb if you don't take their suggestions of meds. I argue with all my doctors, I really hate taking medication. Unless it is a must, I do without it.
