Nowadays different diseases or health disorders are diagnosed in humans. And we all know "Health is Wealth" and thus we try our best to keep ourselves fit. Whenever we suffer from health disorders we may visit doctors for recovery of health back to normal.
But, have we ever thought that. Are we going to right place?
Are the medicine prescribed by doctors were really required for recovery of our health?
Definitely, if we are not of medical background or if we are totally unaware of medicine then we may not be able to decide whether the prescribed medicine was necessary or not. We visit doctors and doctors mostly prescribe certain diagnostic tests and prescribe certain medicine in his/her prescription.
Questions arise!
Were those diagnostic tests and medicine prescribed by doctors were really mandatory?
If the answer is "YES" then everything is ok.
But, if the answer is "NO" then what may be the consequences of those diagnostic tests and prescribed medicines?
Consequences if the answer is "NO" in above case.
- You will waste your hard earned money on useless tests and medicines.
- You may have side effects of those medicines and may suffer from other health disorders because of side effects of medicines.
Why do doctors may do this?
Why do they ask you for the useless diagnostic tests and prescribe non-mandatory medicines?
The answer is simple. Doctors may do this just for money or they may not have quality in themselves to treat the patient in a confident manner.
How they may earn money?
We all know doctors are generally approached by medical representatives (MR) and medical representatives are employed by the pharmaceutical company. And medical representatives ask doctors to recommend their company products for which they work for. And doctors are offered commission if they prescribe the said medicine. So doctors may prescribe medicine just for the commission.
And doctors are in contact with the laboratory test shops (companies). So if the doctor prescribes particular diagnostic test and patient go for the test in the particular lab as said by doctors. Then doctors get the certain rate of commission as agreed.
So what can be done to save ourselves from such acts of doctors?
Whenever you visit doctors and if they ask you for certain diagnostic tests and prescribe certain medicines. Then always be careful of those acts and ask those persons who are of medical background and know about medicine. So just cross check the tests asked to be done and medicine prescribed by the knowledgeable person or on the Internet.
Stay wise to save your hard-earned money and health.
