<p>are you sure you know what a physician does? cherry picking stories that are posted on yahoo.com about a single physician does not negate the fact that almost all physicians **don’t **prescribe medications that are useless, and with the regulations in place from the early 2000’s they can’t take monetary kickbacks from the pharmaceutical companies. </p>

<p>clearly you are. You’re talking about doctors who are bribed by the pharmaceutical reps to prescribe medications that will not benefit them. That is overly corrupt and not common practice in hospitals and private clinics.</p>

<p>Why the hell not? money is an important factor when picking a career for a lot of people. Doing something you’re passionate about is great, but if that thing doesn’t pay well and allow you to live the lifestyle that you want (most people want a good lifestyle) you’re not going to be happy because your passion isn’t helping you obtain the lifestyle to desire. Of course if you don’t care about how much $$ you have and in what conditions you live, that’s another story. </p>

<p>Like I said before, I’m not talking about values, morals, or ethics. I’m talking about an individuals motivation for entering a field.</p>
