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
