RE: The Thinking Stuff, 27th Dose – Big Pharma

Lol!

You made me remember something.

One time, a friend of mine had another friend visiting and she asked me to join them.

Let's say her name is A. A is a medical student in one of the schools and she was telling us about her profession, her personal life, and rest.

I took one thing out of those conversations. It was the medical part.

This girl told us just how Pharmaceuticals are run...

She said when someone comes in to be diagnosed. The doctor or pharmacist takes all of the stories down, listening attentively and nodding in cognition.

Once the session is over. Drugs are prescribed for the patient.

This new friend of mine told us that when drugs are prescribed, politics is involved. How?

The patient gets the drugs that would have done the curing plus extra. The extra pills, tablets, or syrups that are added to the prescription have nothing to do with the illness or diagnosis. It's a marketing strategy or should I call it a selling strategy?

To get the rest of the drugs off the counter, pharmacists add them to prescriptions even though it's mostly vitamins or supplements just to move the business.

So your pictures are definitely correct, there's no profit in a healthy world.
