I am a Cynical person

a reply to: Flyingclaydisk

Why is my doctor telling me I'm borderline diabetic (????)...unless he wants to sell me all the drugs, tests and treatments that come with diabetes. (?)

I really doubt the average family doctor, anywhere in the Western world, would try to fake blood results in order to "sell" you some drugs you don't actually need...bearing in mind I don't know the procedure in the US.

Don't you get your scripts from the local pharmacy/drug store? I could see it being a nice little earner for the pharmacy if enough people were misdiagnosed as diabetics, but the doctor?? And it would have to be on a colossal scale to make any real difference to any individual person's bank balance.

And aren't blood samples sent to a hospital lab for testing (ie outside of your doctor's sphere of influence)? I really can't see it myself.

But if you think you've got concrete proof of deception for profit then don't sit on it; this guy needs to be put out of business without delay.

ETA It doesn't get my conspiracy antennae twitching. It would involve the collusion of several agencies.
