Doctors are no more than drug dealers.

My back went out today, muscle spasms. I go to the doctor at an urgent care clinic. The doctor starts in with all the guessing games but then wanted to give me some vicodin.

I'm like..uh...why do you wanna give me vicodin for a muscle spasms. We started having this "discussion" about why I'm not taking the meds. He wasn't too pleased with me.

I've had more docs try to PUSH vicodin on me when I keep telling them I don't need any narcotic.

Then they wonder why people are drug seeking.

UGH.

He finally gave me some muscle relaxers.

What the hell!!

Call me crazy, but I think Docs make more money depending on what meds they perscribe. At least you had the common sense to question the almighty Dr.

Good luck with your back.

You are absolutely right. I had one Doctor put me on High Blood pressure medicine because I had ONE, that's right ONE high reading. The only one I had ever had in my enitire life.

After I thought about it, I switched Doctors and took myself off the medication. I have never had another high reading since. But if I haden't taken the situation into my own hands, I would still be on a medicine I never needed in the first place .

i got all the medicine your back needs ms b....quit playin

you ain't crazy it's true they make big bucks off what they prescribe.

Just look at the amount of drug commercials alone...it's disgusting to think that professional physicians back these scumbags.

Oh, but you went to an Urgent Care clinic...still though, if you can't help someone, recommend them to a real doctor.

There was an ad last week in with the Sunday paper coupons that was for a drug to keep you awake because of ES. What is ES? Excessive sleepiness.

WTF is that shit? We're all tired from work and our lives and now instead of Eric Clapton telling us what to reach for after a long day (COCAINE), we may have ES.

Shit must be working because the pharma industry is making the cash in the BILLIONS and their lobbyists are in Washington paying off your elected officials everyday.

So I can watch a commercial where a cartoon mucus is dressed up in a cowboy outfit.

Or if my erection lasts more than 4 hours I may need to go to the hospital?

Or it may cause Anal leakage?

doctors actually don't make money off prescribing certain prescriptions...my mom's a nurse and i just asked her.

Rhondab said:

Dont go to the doctor and stay ill then.

JDInteractive said:

What sort of fucked comment is that?


He wasn't treating me. This was the issue.

Rhondab said:

Precisely.

They're prescribing drugs (many of them addictive) for some of the most common ailments that people have in the natural course of life. Last year, my sister experienced pain difficulties after giving birth to her last child, and many weeks after, the first medication they jumped to put her on was OXYCONTIN . She was a breastfeeding mother by the way, and these jokers prescribed HEROIN in pill form for her and called it a day. I was so outdone with that I didn't know what to do

Rhondab said:

It's called a joke and mind your language.

JDInteractive said:

upgrade your sarcasm.

Rhondab said:

For what it's worth I'm sorry.

JDInteractive said:

no need to apologize.

Rhondab said:

Byatch!!!
