Doctors come out of med school trained prescriptions are the answer to everything.
I mean no disrespect to either of you. But your statements are an oversimplification of the problem(s). For example, are you aware that hospitals’ payments are dependent upon patient surveys? This system of reimbursement is perpetuated by Medicare (our government). And the rest of the insurance companies follow suit. Trust me when I tell you that drs and hospitals surveys are negatively affected if patients do not get what they want, even if what they want is unhealthy. Sad but true.
