Lack of ethics in the Medical Profession
I knew that doctors were in the back pocket of the drug companies. I knew that because my doctor is always trying to shove meds on me. But today, while looking for a job, I was on one of the job boars. There was two ads soliciting doctors to furnish patient information to this drug company. One ad was requesting that doctors have their patients fill out surveys and they would pay doctors $150 each for these surveys. This is not ethical. This is disgusting. And a dermatologist I saw when I was having a severe reaction to blood pressure meds has raided his patient files to try and solicit participants to his research labs. There is no other place he could have gotten my name and address. And I can't stop him. That is what is so infuriating. Patients have no rights. We are at the mercy of these doctors and these doctors are only out to make money. I want socialized medicine and I want doctors paid a set amount of money and to be held accountable for patient information. By selling your patient's personal information, these doctors are violating the right to privacy laws. But they are unstoppable because we have a congress that is in the same boat. If a business or and individual gives them enough money, then that business or individual gets whatever they want no matter if it is against the law. Our country is in pathetic shape and the populace is like sheep. They will do whatever a politician tells them to do. We are on the verge of seeing religion take over our government in spite of the Constitution expressly forbidding it. We will be no better than the Middle East.
