I am salaried, I see patients frequently when they have diabetes and blood pressure. But you are not an active patient if you do not come at LEAST once a year to get checked out.

When I hear a physician espouse their morally superior attitude it makes me sick. How about the physician that will not refill an Rx unless they see the patient so they can get another $100.00 office call. I am not talking about the new patient on a statin or a drug like coumadin or digitalis. But to make a patient come in to get a refill on an antihistamine or nasal steroid, get real. A buddy of mine wanted to get a script for Viagra, the doc would not call it in unless my buddy came into the office, bear in mind that my friend goes to this office once a year for a physical and had normal BP. And don't get me started on the whore doctors that would sell my free samples. I am a retired drug rep. When I hear a physician espouse their morally superior attitude it makes me sick.
