In this new feature we take readers’ questions and our panel of experts provides an answer.
Reader Question: I see a doctor who does not have an online store or offer me educational downloads at a “special price.” Should I change doctors?
The Spudd: We at The Spudd have a few “red flags” when it comes to doctors, and this is one of them. We only take ourselves and our families to doctors with their own online stores. If they try to get us to purchase educational CDs, so much the better. We know that doctors need to make a living. Those doctors who do not have their own online stores clearly get their money directly from Big Pharma. This is blatantly unethical and the mark of an untrustworthy physician.
We hope that you can find a doctor you trust- one who shows their independence from corporations.
