When a doctor checks someone's blood pressure and finds out it's high, what is the first thing they prescribe?


Excellent

The same goes for diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, etc. Doctors get very little benefit from overprescribing drugs despite what people think and know that the best option is lifestyle change if possible.

From what I gather, the opposite is actually true.

Doctors aren't shoving pills down patients' throats - the patients are DEMANDING pills.

My wife gets yelled at daily for telling her patients that a change of diet and exercise routine would do wonders for them. She's been told several times to "shut up and give me my medicine to make me feel better".
