Real statements from real patients:

“I asked my doctor if my insurance could help get me a mouth guard to wear at night so I wouldn’t grind my teeth. He said no, they couldn’t do that, but he could prescribe some Valium to help me relax!”

“My doctor tried to put me on antidepressants when I started crying after he told me during an appointment that I would likely never have kids. I’m not sure why he considered crying to be an inappropriate or excessive reaction?”

“Don’t use toothpaste containing fluoride for the baby, but here’s a prescription for fluoride pills to give her..”

“After trying to donate blood I was told I was anemic. I went to a doctor who tested and said yes indeed I was “VERY” anemic and all of my iron stores were depleted. Treatment was to “take some iron pills” and then he tried to give me Prozac samples. I asked why in the world do I need Prozac for anemia? He told me most people have symptoms of depression with anemia and I said won’t iron alleviate those symptoms? He looked at me with total shock on his face and said, “most people are thrilled to get this’!”

“This doctor saw NO problem with taking Xanax to sleep and adderall for daytime.”

With conventional medicine now the third leading cause of death killing 225,000 people each year (before the pandemic) as recognized by the Journal of the American Medical Association and half of doctors routinely prescribing drugs they know won’t work, learning to stand up for yourself in any sort of medical situation and not take advice blindly can be a lifesaving skill.

A strong example is when it was discovered that opioid manufacturers were paying U.S. doctors huge sums of money for speaking, consulting, and other services—and the more opioids a doctor prescribed, the more money he or she was paid by those same manufacturers, according to an analysis from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Harvard Medical School (HMS).

The study found that, in 2014 and 2015, opioid manufacturers paid hundreds of doctors sums in the six figures, while thousands more were paid over $25,000.

“I don’t know if the money is causing the prescribing or the prescribing led to the money, but in either case, it’s potentially a vicious cycle,” said Michael Barnett, assistant professor of health policy and management at Harvard Chan School. “It’s cementing the idea for these physicians that prescribing this many opioids is creating value.”

The first year of the Sunshine Act, in 2014, required makers of drugs and devices to report how much money they pay to physicians and teaching hospitals.

The numbers were stunning. That year the industry spent roughly $6.5 billion on 607,000 doctors and 1,121 hospitals.

About half ($3.23 billion) was related to “research-related activities.”  What was not mentioned is that a big chunk of this “research” is for medicines already on pharmacy shelves.

Essentially, Big Pharma was funneling money to doctors for research that in many cases, was never intended to be published.

The industry spent roughly $370 million for doctor consultations. Over $400 million went for travel, lodging, food, beverages and entertainment. 

“Physicians fail to recognize their vulnerability to commercial influences due to self-serving bias, rationalization, and cognitive dissonance. Professionalism offers little protection; even the most conscious and genuine commitment to ethical behavior cannot eliminate unintentional, subconscious bias… In order to resist industry influence, physicians must accept that they are vulnerable to subconscious bias and have both the motivation and means to resist industry influence.” –‘The Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics, Fall, 2013
