I completely agree with them. I'm not trigger happy. I don't like to inject patients with needles and medications. If they can get better naturally, that's what I would prefer. That's what I would want for myself. I've had injections before. If I had gotten better with just therapy, I would have preferred that. It's always an option I offer.
But sometimes they're in so much pain, they can't do physical therapy. I've tried to prescribe it, but I can't force a patient to do physical therapy.

Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't because sometimes it doesn't matter what you tell them. I can show them all the studies that they requested to back up the procedure. And they might still say, oh, our company's guidelines, my employer's guidelines say that it's experimental and we cannot authorize it.

But if you're a doctor speaking to another doctor trying to do what's best for the patient, you shouldn't let the company dictate what treatment the patient gets.

I think it's complete bullcrap because the middlemen, the insurance companies, undermine the physician-patient relationship. These are things we didn't learn about in medical school. We were taught that we should always do what's best for the patient, and we don't have a choice here because we get compensated by the insurance company.

Not at all. Not at all. Because doctors complain about this stuff pretty often. We have Facebook groups where they post these kinds of stories all the time. But they're Facebook groups. They're private Facebook groups where you have to be a vetted physician to join. The public doesn't see it.
