Also, poor people usually aren't economically smart enough to realize that buying a name brand drug at a clinic pharmacy is stupid. You can save alot of money buy buying a generic from a walmart or target. |
Its not illegal, and it is impossible to say that a doctor made a wrong decision unless it was blantantly obvious. Surgery to remove an infection or medicine? Surgery is much more profitable while medicine is a lot safer and more effective (no new infection from surgery, no missed infection during surgery). However you cannot fault a doctor for advising surgery because its an individual opinion on two well accepted methods.
Patients aren't stupid, they are ignorant. If anything you are the ill-informed one because many generic drugs lack proper delivery systems that name brands have. I do not understand these mechanisms because I am not a doctor (that makes me ignorant too), but I have close relatives that are who inform me when I can buy generic and when its best to buy brand name.
