What Your Doctor Really Thinks…

It’s a book title..have u read it?

Dr Bloomer says that there is more pressure to do what is best for the system, instead of what’s best for the patient. That was a few yrs ago…I imagine this being a lot worse today.

I knew few doctors who retired because of same reason. They say that decision for patient treatment is dictated by insurance and hospitals. They can’t choose any more what is good for patients.

I haven't read it, but I have witnessed that very thing in healthcare. People are not encouraged to take responsibility for their own health. They are instead encouraged to "just take a pill" which often causes more problems than it fixes. Taking care of oneself before disease sets in, is the better, cheaper, and more successful option in the long run. Sad it's not promoted as such.

😟that’s profound@NativePortlander1970
@Wiseacre They do not care about us patients, we are more profitable to them sick than healthy.

I think it really is worse today. The medical and pharmaceutical industries are greedy. I also agree they have more concern to keep the industries in the pink than they have for the patient. Medicines are given, not to cure the patient, but to keep them locked into the system as return customers. It isn't a system of healthcare, it's one of disease maintenance. And it's sad.
