Nope. Healthcare providers don’t make more money by giving out prescriptions.

  • some do it because they are being asked/bullied by the patient, and are too weary to argue.

  • some do it because it is (true story) the SEVENTH time the same patient showed up to the clinic for the same common cold

  • some do it because they are not confident in their own diagnosis and don’t want a lawsuit

  • some do it because they can’t trust the patient to get proper follow up care

  • some do out it because they are bad doctors

But it’s never for money.
