As a future medical professional I see this as absurd.

As a lay person I see the majority of the medical profession in the United States as absurd. Drugs are overperscribed, real medical advice is seldom given (quit eating like that or you'll die vs. take this drug and "try to improve your diet"). I sincerely hope you are one of the few that is able to cut through the bullshit and provide true, compassionate help to other beings. However, I imagine you're already bristling to defend yourself against my accusations because you identify with them. And don't feed me some shit about people don't want the truth. Fuck no, they don't want to hear it, but it's the right thing to do. You may lose patients to some screwball who will tell them what they want to hear, but I can only hope you're in this for the right reasons, not the money.

How does this make sense? Drugs are currently over prescribed so lets make it easier to get them. At least with the prescription system the doctor is the rate limiting step. Plus $50 for omeprazole? You can purchase a 2 week does for like $14 at any grocery store.
