Fuck!!!

Day off work sick. I lose a day's pay.
I go to the doctor's $40
He sees me and says you need to buy 7 prescription medications (For three different ailments at god knows what cost) and have another 2 days off.

If I win the lottery I don't care about the economic downturn I am putting BIG money into the health care sector in share investment. I will make a killing!!

Wow you don't fuck around when you get sick do you? I like fucking off a work day doing something fun better than doing it from being sick.

I thought health care in Australia was nationalized.

Both of the kids are really relaxed tonight. The oldest is playing the Sims2 in his room and the  youngest is playing Where's Waldo on her DS in my room. So nice that everyone is happy and doing their own thing.

That is the funny thing. It is we pay 1.5% of our taxable income to Medicare which then supports the healthcare system and public health.
Medicare does support the cost of medical appointments and so on to a specified amount but what the doctors do is charge what they like and get the customer to pay the "gap" (difference) whilst knowing that they will get a kickback from the government.

They also make more money if they have a little chemist or Pharmacy alongside their medical practice...and they all do.
(7 prescriptions?)

Oh I am OK....ish.
I am just amazed the potential earn here. $65/patient. 10-25 minutes each one after the other all day. Then kickback from precriptions? Hell throw in a couple of vending machines

It is my theory that doctors and pharmaceautical companies are in bed with each other

I remember when I was at this mental health clinic, they actually had a sales rep from a pharmaceautical company there

My brother in law is in pharmaceauticals and he has to travel to clinics and doctors offices to teach them about how the meds work.

it makes sense. we "common civilians" expect a lot to be automatic, but how is a doctor supposed to know how a medication works if it has just recently been developed? i allready knew doctors have a responsability paying attention to a lot of reports describing new medications, and keep themselves updated.
