Doctors earn a living off of illness. While they profit from your pain, is the health care system corrupt and out to cheat you?

You might be feeling like your doctor dismissed your symptoms, rushed to prescribe medications without listening, or failed to look deeper into what's causing your migraines.

Today, the differences are minimal, though D.O.s still receive training in osteopathic manipulative treatment and are more likely to work in primary care and rural areas. Research shows no significant differences in patient outcomes between D.O.s and M.D.s.

It can feel patronizing. It’s invasive. It’s stigmatizing. As a physician, I hate that most laboratory assays still refer to this test as a “urine drug screen” or “drug screen”. Using the word DRUG immediately brings back memories of drug lords in Sicario or the meth lab in Breaking Bad.
