Doctors and medicine

Tweet

I feel doctors push drugs too easily. While some illnesses may require drugs, others can be treated via healthy lifestyle or natural remedy. It seems doctors are too ready to push the next drug that this week's sales rep gave samples of and silly pens and cheap gifts with the drugs name on it. Many patients want to be prescribed drugs and love to hear the words "free samples". I have read extensively about homeopathic remedies, and have tried to avoid drugs, chemicals and additives in medicine, food and drinks. When I see people having cheeseburgers and fries with cheese, a few beers and cigarettes and 6 medicines to counteract their unhealthy habits, I wonder where the overall health of people is headed.
