Modern Medicine Continues With Its Primary Objective - To Submit and Collect Insurance Claims

A medical practice consultant advises his physician clients to place all their patients on drugs. This way doctors can ?up-code? their insurance claims and make more money. So every patient gets a prescription for heartburn, cholesterol control, sleep, anxiety, attention deficit, and drugs as yet to be invented for dealing with the common stresses of life. Forget advice to avoid tobacco, limit alcohol consumption, avoid refined sugars, ease up on red meat, eat more whole grains and fish. Doctors didn't go to medical school to become dieticians.
