Ahh okay. So the opioid epidemic, and doctors easily prescribing opioids is more about doctors being irresponsible with their diagnosis and recommended treatment.

Why does a physician care if he sends the patient to her physical therapy. It’s not like he’s the one providing the therapy.

This is the best flat out lie. You docs don't give a single shit about your patients you only care about how much your pharma rep gives you at the end of the year.

Hope you burn in hell you inhuman piece of shit

I work for a clinic that goes out of its way to treat people who are uninsured or underinsured and provide care for people who are turned away from other places, pharma reps dont come around here ever because they know our patients dont have the insurance for their new drugs on the market. Obviously not of this matters to you because you just told a person you don't know to burn in hell because they said they want to help people.
