Guest guest Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Hey all, I went to the doctor this morning for a routine TSH test and renewal of thyroid prescription. Nothing else. The doctor tried to get me to take a cholesterol test, and I respectfully declined. He was surprised by this. Then He tried to get me to do a whole bunch of bloodwork and proceedures with absolutely no health complaints. I declined. He then stated that he was legally obligated to offer them to me. I left the physicians office with a sick feeling that I was being upsold, and asked to spend my money for no other purpose than to cover the physician's butt. My view of the Primary care physician's medical world is now 45% sales and marketing, 45% cover the doctor's liability, and 10% of the visit is concerning my health.
