You may have a point about &quot;most&quot; doctors not caring about their patients health, but let me hasten to say that there are a few who do... With Michael's death due to the apparent abuse of Legally prescribed narcotic drugs, how do we come to terms with it? What should society demand from the authorities to curtail the &quot;despicable behaviour&quot; of Doctors who are actually &quot;drug pushers&quot; to those who can afford their services?

Dr Chopra is speaking out and lashing out against the practice which should tell us that the situation is most likely worse than it appears on the surface... The FDA, DEA, etc. need to be forthcomming with solutions to this &quot;expanding&quot; problem...

Gourmet is so correct, most of these so-called &quot;doctors&quot; only see the patient as one meal ticket. If a patient has good insurance the treatment MOST TIMES will be different from that rendered to a patient who is on Medicaid...believe it or not.

In all fairness, they might not be able to order some &quot;tests&quot;/procedures that might enable a truer diagnosis..but some simply don't want to be bothered because of the reimbursement they receive, plus NOW they are coming under more scrutiny from the government that is paying the bill..

Having said that, he is correct again in saying that it is the individual's responsibility to take care of him/herself.


However, when dealing with an addict, it is a completely different ballgame; were it that easy now..shame, guilt, confusion, defenseless all come to the fore now.


The addiction renders the patient unable to make any sound decision re his condition. He/she is AT THE MERCY OF THE PRESCRIBING PHYSICIAN/QUACK...they can even threaten the patient to withhold the drug, if the patient doesn't do their bidding....there are some merciless quacks out there...the stories just don't make the news.

**As I said in my thread, Chopra is coming off very hypocritical to me...and that is my opinion.

</div></div>Perhaps I am wrong, but in my experience rich people, and rich and famous people, get to do what they want to do... especially when it comes to taking prescription (and or illegal) drugs.
