This jumps out at me:
At what point does the interaction with the medical doctor become irrelevant for those who believe that a drug is the solution to their health problem?
Doctors just seem to be middle men for pharmaceutical salesmen. Insurance doesn\'t pay for them to have long consults with patients. They have to turn the patient load over quickly every day. It\'s easier to just write a prescription than deal with a problem. The only reason to go to a doctor anymore is to get a prescription. They don\'t ever know how to do anything else but write script. If you\'re at your wits end with a child having problems, and the doctor says here, give him this, what else are you going to do?
