Re: BREAKING: Rep. Charles Boustany of LA to Deliver GOP Response on Health Care Sep
Preventative medicine is great and needed. I think there needs to be more communication between healthcare providers to end these overlapping treatments. Also, if patients can take steps other than taking medication to deal with a problem, they should be told to do so, rather than the automatic prescription machine that it appears doctors have become.
I occasionally see this happen but no very often, and its not like we make much on simple blood tests anyways. Yall know that the preventive medicine O wants will involve running a lot of tests like that to make sure there are no problems.
