See if Your Doctor is on Big Pharma's Payroll

[eits]

cuz... chiros are obviously not trusted around here... and this forum is very good at finding people's secrets.

I have nothing to hide.

Christ on his throne... you're giving me too much credit, I think. You think I'm some kind of nefarious asshole with bad intentions and some kind of evil genius with some kind of harmful agenda that has me laughing all the way to the bank. Sorry to say that I have nothing to hide (except maybe some personal stuff or something I might not want broadcaster to the world... but it's hard for me to think of anything that would fit that criteria).

You're wasting your time trying to dig up dirt on me. I'm a good person with nothing to hide.

You know what's sad? You spend all your time and effort trying to flame, discredit, and insult me. However, if you ever had a problem or issue that you needed help with or if something tragic happened to you or your family, I would do everything I could to help you or at least bring you comfort.

I think it's sad because whereas someone can genuinely care about his fellow human and can make the conscious decision to be a good person, you almost always decide to be an asshole. Why?

That's pretty interesting...

Unfortunately, I'm too poor to have a doctor. :awe:

lol, funny cause it's true for me too.

 

[guyver01]

don't make yourself out to be more important than you really are.

i dont spend "all my time" ... in fact.. to look up your site took all of 30 seconds... 30 seconds which i was bored and had nothing else to do.

and insulting you is easy... doesn't take much effort at all.

and don't need to discredit chiro's... they do a wonderful job of doing that themselves.

This cannot be true. Obama banned being poor, is making everyone help you afford medical insurance so you can have a doctor, and insuring you can have children you will never be able to pay for.

You guys should see what happens in Europe. Holy crap, I went to a conference there once, and the drug companies were handing out cash by the thousands. First class air flights, 5 star hotel suites, multi course dinners at Michelin rated restaurants. Guys were asking for cash to go to strip clubs, and getting it.

But, but, but Euro-style medical care is a bajillion times better than the US.

 

[brainhulk]

I miss working for drug companies. They sent me to cancun on an all expenses paid "meeting" @ the ritz carlton. bah, I should have went into industry....

although they still provide free CE's @ nice restaurants which are awesome

It just sucks because patients think that patients are getting treated by unbiased doctors who will do what they can to treat them... not getting treated by docs give biased treatments based on possible compensation, especially when some of the research of the drugs made by the sponsor companies are bogus.

Sigh, I just ended a relationship with a physician that had a global position with "big pharma" it was her job to shepard new drugs through the EU's equivalent of the FDA and then through the FDA, the research isn't bogus, it's complicated, and the patient population served by most new drugs is small. Sample size is an issue, and side effects are crazy complicated to monitor.

But if it makes you feel good to put a tail and horns on "big pharma" enjoy, and if I were you, I wouldn't think twice about treating pediatric ear infections with "adjustments" and likely contributing to hearing loss in children, when they should be getting a myringotomy and PE tubes.

And hey, we all know that fibromyalgia (another of those great diseases that's diagnosed by exclusion) is well treated by chiros...

Your clinic's facebook page & website advertises that you treat both of them.

Strong work Eits...

Don't worry eits. No one here thinks you're a genius.

 

[The Boston Dangler]

nope

 

[scott916]

Nevermind, pointed out the obvious.

Why are they paying these doctors? My brother owns a small rural pharmacy and gets hooked up too though. Trips to conferences like always in HI, VI or Cancun and usual garbage like pens, pads and shirts. My house is stacked with pens which i have clue what they are but they are nice pens.

 

[eits]

i think this matters because patients' best interests are being compromised.

not quite sure what you mean, but how do you feel about the topic?

 

[nick1985]

Don't play dumb, "doc"

Interesting, but I think it rates a little lower on the scam scale than selling chiropractic adjustments and homeopathic cures for pediatric ear infections and fibromyalgia and weekly adjustments.

And there's those questionable supplements:

And magic zapper thingies:

You got called out and owned

 

[Jumpem]

I have no idea if they are or not. I am not concerned with it. If they can get paid to recommend an applicable medicine, good for them.

regardless of whether or not it's actually safe? do you have any idea how many medicines have been taken off the market way after they were being prescribed by doctors because the research was uncovered that they were actually not safe and there were way too many people having serious or fatal side-effects?

it happens quite frequently. the pharmaceutical industry doesn't care. they're making a product and marketing it the best they can. the patient is the one that could end up suffering.

 

[Gibsons]

eits, how did you become the "Official AnandTech Forums Chiropractic Physician?"

Did the mods bestow this title on you, or did Anand do it personally?

I like how AT's mod's allow threats and libel to be directed at people.

I wish they'd ban all you silly TFNNers. Damn mob mentality.

alkemyst calling for someone's ban. lol

don't confuse them anymore than they are.

There is probably a thread on this thread on TFNN and everyone's gotten overly giddity about it.

It's funny when nurses think they are doctors, I am sure he thinks to himself he knows more than all the doctors he knows.
