Reply #11: Just 10%? I don't know... [View All]

"Docs and reps are pretty much the same all over. It's just the wildest example of the over-the-top weirdness that is pharm rep ass-kissing that I have encountered. My time in that town definitely made me see doctors in a whole new light. That includes time working as a 'simulated patient' at the med school. I sold my body to science while I was still in it. 30% of med students are good and will make fine doctors. 60% are doing it because they think it a 'good career', and the money is decent, but otherwise have no real draw to healing. The last 10% are scary, they only want the status and the money and have no empathy whatsoever. And because of the their status, they don't have to follow the rules you and I do. Funny. They will drug test a bus driver or the assembler of your shitty Taco Bell Grande, but doctors are never checked out. Have fun with that at your next surgery."

I think it might be a little higher than 10% that are only in it for the money and have no empathy whatsoever. As someone with leukemia, I go to a lot of doctors, and my experience is that most fit that description, especially what you later add: 'And because of their status, they don't have to follow the rules you and I do.'

And since Republicans, under the guise of fighting 'frivolous lawsuits,' have chipped away at your right to sue, most doctors know there's essentially no means of holding them accountable.
