The businesses want to keep you coming back for more products and services. So it is with doctors. Their billings are their bread and butter. They do not want customers (patients) coming just once a year and being told they are doing just great.
They want you coming back for more.
So by definition, they do not have a vested interest in CURING you of anything. Nor do they want to PREVENT anything from happening to you. They want to keep you needy and coming back.
So they will only treat illnesses and conditions to give you just enough relief that you subscribe to their medications (which they get "spiffed" on) and keep coming back for "follow-ups".
You are basically a ringing cash register for them.
People, you need to take charge of your own health. Exercise. Eat well. Stay away fron the doctor as much as you can.
Very well said... That is the absolute fact. they “milk” you along so they can have a reason to get you in their office every month instead of once or twice a year...
