The Meat Medic Podcast Why do doctors seem to only want to prescribe drugs rather than spending time fixing? Episode 14
Why is it that doctors seem to only prescribe medications rather than try to actually fix the issues that people have? This may seem unfair on doctors, and some will be watching this thinking 'I don't do that'!
Well that's often the take home message that patients get, whether doctors mean it or not. But why is this? Why can't doctors help more than just offering drugs to people? What about taking time to explore the issues, discuss other ways of treating their problems, or even preventative treatment?
I discuss 4 of the main reasons:
- Lack of time spent with the patient
- Lack of knowledge and training
- Incentives to prescribe and kickbacks from pharmaceutical companies
- Guidelines encouraging us to only prescribe
