I have noticed also that younger docs tend to not give you any meds in the office. There was a day when I did not leave my docs office without a sack full of samples and meds he would give me until it was convenient for me to go to the pharmacy.
Exactly - same here! We add more red tape and more restrictions, and as a result more doctors fear for their livelihoods.. and then quality of care goes down the crapper.
Things are waaaaay more complicated than they need to be.
