Doctors don't remotely behave in the same manner.
You can't make blanket statements.
My GP/Oncologist for instance rightfully believes Nexium is a crock, a robbery, a scam, so when a patient asks him for a prescription and he states generic pepcid is just as good and far cheaper and recommends they buy it OTC.
But too often a T.V. brainwashed patient that has it in his brainwashed head that that purple pill is a must have and will demand a Nexium prescription( he isn't going to get into an argument with a patient on the matter--why should he?)
So he writes it and then (since Nexium bombards Doctors with free samples) and says here, save your self some money, and hands them some Nexium samples.
i myself have never had a doctor give me "freebies" for something i was not already prescribed for, or am about to be subscribed for.
But ues it is fact that there are doctors that get kickbacks for pushing Nexium prescriptions to their patients.
Such doctors are of the TRASH element of medicine.

By the way if anyone reads this post that is paying the price to use Nexium, you sir or lady, is a SUCKER. Max
