RE: A career in medicine was not the dream I thought it was

in #healthcare6 years ago

In our country a similar law was introduced, having drug companies disclose all the payments to medical professionals. However, the pharma guys discovered a loophole - have the big doctors on their boards and the money they receive in that capacity they don't need to make public. Who's to know then?

It is disgusting that greed takes over. When you think of health issues like blood pressure you can see the recommendations change like the wind and it is difficult not to think that sales are behind those recommendations. After being in that arena I do not trust the system because I have seen first hand the manipulation.

I studied usmle i was shocked when i read about statins
The guidelines were mind boggling , if you have bp above this give statin if you have this give statin if you have that give statin .... Why not give everyone statin and get on with it .
Statin is the number one drug in profitability in big farma today ?????

And they only have a couple of side effects???https://statineffects.com/info/adverse_effects.htm

Bcuz it decrease lipids , cell wall is made of lipids , blood brain barrier is made of lipids .
Mediterranean people are among the highest age population bcuz of there high lipid diet ... natural olive oil , lamb's meat that are feed naturally and so on .

Let food be thy medicine!
