Yep, there are all kinds of filthy corruption even in the white coat medical

industry, or expecially there considering big pharma. I have first hand

experience with this.

One of my neuro's scheduled a brain MRI and I was happy since I wanted that done

to see if it can shed light on things. This was a year or more ago. I had the

test performed and then realized afterwards that the same neuro's read the MRI.

I fired those neuro's onthe spot and wrote them a letter. What poor ethics a

lot of doctors have, I would have preferred that a separate MRI lab do the

testing so I could get a more subject opinion. This is simply the way it is.

Watch out for the pain clinics. They are in the racket of increasing business

so of course they need to order tests to grease more palms. Many of them like

to overprescribe pain killers to numb your spine pain, thereby allowing you to

do further damage to your spine as the weeks and months proceed. Then, they

will tell you that you cannnot take that level of pain medication any more, and

they need to try something else, and that will be surgery, which they

conveniently do as well, so they make more money on that, and had to do it since

they allowed your condition to worsen due to the overprescribed meds.

Be very careful out there, get many opinions, ask others who the good doctors

are, do not take anything as gospel from any doctor, you will help yourself and

your health greatly with this new attitude. Become more proactive, ask a lot of

questions, if a doctor is not responsive to your questions and concerns, fire

him/her and move on to a new doctor.
