I can't count the number of times I've sat in a waiting room and watched pharmaceutical representatives get ahead of the rest of us🤨
It happens all the time. Doctors are trained to prescribe drugs mad by the pharmaceutical companies. Most of them have terrible side effects worse than the diseases.
Because the pharmaceutical companies bring food because physicians and nurses do not have time to eat.
Pharma should not be able to advertise and doctors should not be able to receive money from Pharma,
Politicians and government agencies sure as hell are complicit with big pharma😮
He worries that "some" are complicit!! HA!! So called doctors fold like a cheap suit!!!
It's all about the money and always will be..
Doctors are just pill pushers for big pharma. Have a symptom? They check the computer for a drug that matches it and they write a script for it. No under lying issues are addressed just drug us up! I'm 65 and I take a 81 mg aspirin a day that's it! My husband is a vet and they medicate for a stubbed toe. He is on more than I can count! He complied every time they said he needed a drug. Now his liver is shot and his heart is weak( statins) . He is pretty typical of the average American.
Girl, do I hear you! I'm in my mid 70's & my PCP-(personal care Physician) wants me to take a dangerous drug because she thinks that it will work better than one I know works just as well for an infection!! I Won't take it, the side effects are too risky for me!! I have Scurvy and they won't test for it, so I am treating myself with Vitamin "C" & it's WORKING 😊!!!
@@vinnyheaphy1372 good for you! Stay strong, have to advocate for ourselves!
The decline in education isn’t just in standard subject in our schools that focus on indoctrination over education.
It’s in the medical schools as well.
It has been several decades since the standard was “Do no harm”
We have a system that is a disease maintenance, not healthcare.
We don’t cure anything.
We medicate the symptoms.
Every patient cured is a customer lost and revenue missed.
MONEY
TALKS.
😢
The government has been asking the same questions for 20 years.
They already know the answers but they have to make it look like they are earning their money for us lemmings out here!
You said a mouthful
Yes, and so are most politicians!
I think they get kick backs. They never offer any natural remedies.
Natural remedies are actively discouraged because that sort of thinking leads to self sufficiency which the government just will not tolerate. I mean they're trying to regulate the Amish right out of living the cleanest, purest, life available to modern humans for God's sake.....
They get cruizes, samples, yada!
She's full of crap!!
On one of my meds CVS was 400.00 dollars I switched to a local Harris teeter store and for the exact same medication it is 13.65 . So after switching All of my prescriptions I'm saving over 600 dollars per month
After 2021 we saw the rank and file of it all. They do what they're told and get rewarded for doing so.
Yes doctors are complicite
YES‼️
Sickening! Durbin spent the last 20 years trying to make all vitamins and supplements prescription for pharma.
Doctors are on big phrma
How could they No be! Doctors are like psychiatrists now both just diagnose and prescribe a drug or drugs, rarely do either work on fixing the issue.
I don’t think most doctors are complicit with big pharma but I do believe that doctors trust pharma to do due diligence in their work. Medicine today has become almost automatic, doctors only have a few minutes to spend on each patient, we are only a human conveyor belt. Nobody has the time to spend on the individual to find out what is best for that person; those days are gone.
Your dead right, it’s mainly because no one has a doctor any more, what you have is the states doctor working on your case. But it is true that because of what people are willing to pay for drugs there is a lot of corruption within the medical community.
Prior to the 1980s drug companies were not allowed to advertise to consumers. Laws began changing that decade, and by 2000 the last restrictions on tv advertising were gone.
It's not only medicine it's also defiberaltor and pace maker. My husband had a heart attack in 2001 he was told to rest and go back to work within 6 weeks but then his doctor moved to California and we had a doctor who said he needed a defiberaltor . And he told us if he didn't get it it would be sudden death that scared me so we got a second opinion we heard the second opinion doctor arguing with the doctor that said he needed a defiberaltor. So we got one and because we went to a director of arithyuim with double of the experience who said he did not meet the criteria to have a defiberaltor but then that doctors moves to new york and we get a doctor who kept shocking his heart now his ejection fraction is in between 15 and 19 its a mess
Of course they are
If the same medication is cheaper in other countries then I think the answer is PAINFULLY OBVIOUS !!!
Good one
These people are going to lie to save there on A??
Yes they’re complicit so is congress
YES!!!!!!!
Unfortunately, those that call themselves 'doctor' who are only PhD, these nonphysicians are allowed to prescribe.
That woman is in denial LOL😂
Yes they are. So is the
United States Government.
"Do no harm".
If that were true?
They wouldn't make any money.
Pharmaceutical industry is rotten. Almost all huge corporations are doing the same things. There products are gold, and if we the people want medicine then we shall pay and pay dearly. Sad.
Go to any VA Hospital and you know this is true.
I have had way to many Pharmaceutical drug reactions to trust my doctor's advice for me to take these poisons they push, so when I get them, I toss them in the trash or reject them at the Pharmacy😢!!!
It’s a vicious circle. Americans pay more for insurance. So the pharmaceutical companies can charge higher prices on our drugs. If Americans can get the drugs faster. Why are they crossing the border to buy them. For a cheaper price?
I've gotten off of 16 prescription meds, that caused iatrogenics disease 😢
I believe they do
Yea I don’t trust non of these people
Yes…
DURBIN IS ON THE EPSTEIN LIST CHANGE MY MIND
Doctors also can not get money from?
This is not important.
You all are complicit!!!!
Uhh what a liar she is
Doubt Not! $$$$$$ 🪱🪱🪱
Yes yes yes , all the time. Pharma reps sponsor all sorts of events in Private Clinics , Hospitals, and for Doctors . Some Doctors get paid for prescribing drugs . Doctors are not trained to prevent diseases only cure them. Maybe if they are trained in preventative medicine then patients would need less drugs. Healthy lifestyle and quitting SUGAR.
Mr Durban, it’s simple the US national sport of “GREED” across many sectors of society is the reason. Price gouging, price collusion, price rigging. I’m originally from Europe and it’s a lot cheaper and simpler there.
Yes😂
Most doctors are quacks.

If contributions are the same as most country’s here, then why do we pay thousands of times more than they do?
Doctors have been getting kick backs for years..
