Medical professionals make more money off of you by treating the symptoms rather than the cause. If treating the cause made them a one time shot of $400.00 and treating the symptoms of a period of 10 years made them a whopping $750,000.00 what would the average person do? Yes money sadly trumps integrity. Community is good provided the community is good and truly has a genuine interest in your well being. The example I provided above was from the video "Dead Doctors Don't Lie." By Joe Wallach. Thanks @krnel. PS Visiting the Doctors waiting room runs your the risk of catching many illnesses. I am not against visiting the doctor, but one must use good judgement. I go for a yearly.
