If I could get my meds from a source OTHER THAN doctors, I would, just to avoid being a part of the problem.
Well if you don't want to have a doctor or are interested in psychiatry then why bother making what amounts to a rather absurd comment in my own opinion?Me thinks this is a statement in search of questions....
Let's just drop all drug laws. Get your medicines from the street. Oh, but wait, are you really sure that you're safe ? I mean because diverted drugs have of course 100% FDA approved contents.
Doctors may make a decent salary but they have to pay INCREASING amounts of malpractice insurance in this society and the DEA is breathing down their throats because of egregious acts by a few doctors and the amount of diversion.So yes, there should be a gatekeeper, in a sense -- do you want a doctor to just say, here's a prescription for morphine ?
I can't believe I actually have to post this.-- Jay
