Geez. You'd think the medical profession would, you know like factories regularly do, have multiple layers of safeguards for things like drugs. Instead, they appear to still treat the inability of doctors to write legibly as a joke. This is what happens in a monopoly. Regular checkups are a joke. Hello, how are you feeling? OK, here are your blood tests results (could have been done in a mobile unit) see you next year. From what I see if we could do the following: - stop subsidizing corn, start subsidizing locally grown green veggies (it's so cheap ya gotta try it). - offer lots of sporting activities for all ages - do regular, and cheap, testing of blood, blood pressure, cholesterol (nice wrist-wearable blood pressure units give good feedback) - get people to wash their hands regularly - offer more community activities and events We would all be thinner, healthier and less stressed. An old doctor I had years ago (right before he retired) said that if all of his patients would simply get a massage every week his case load would drop by half. I think he was sick to death of seeing people who weren't sick but needed pills to 'get well.'
