Hmmm, you want to try a widely available cheap alternative to the medication you were on but that isn’t working out for you? I am the learned expert here!!

Hmmm hmmmmm… after much consideration and deliberation (they had a free lunch with some pharma industry representative last week), I am prescribing you… Pisstronix! (barely disguised rebranding (“reformulation”) of the same widely available cheap alternative medication)

Once u know bribing doctors is legal it explains a lot of their behavior regarding medication :3

I am exaggerating the dismissiveness of this particular person toward me (but I have had doctors who acted like this in the past). My insurance doesn’t cover this stuff so I hope she is amenable to just doing the cheap equivalent thing >w<

Do they know we can see right through them?? I could never bring this up with her cuz she has so much power over me but yeh >w<

Also, I have been in several situations where they don’t seem to know like… anything about the medications they were prescribing me and they got rly rly defensive or mean if I push back at all. I don’t wanna go into too much detail but one time I was talking about this thing I was dealing with to an old doctor and how nothing over-the-counter was helping me at all and she prescribed me something off-label (without telling me it was off-label) that upon doing basic research before putting it in my body could not have possibly helped and the only similarity to over-the-counter stuff was that it worked on a similar but unrelated receptor in the body. Wack, idk, maybe she was just trying to get me out of her office
