On the Private Practice

Private practice is a very funny thing. Once a professor told me, when you go to private, you sort of lose your ethics; because when you're in private, your source of income is from the medication you prescribe.



Which was why, it wasn't surprising that a patient with depression has a list of 14 medications. All the medications to control mood in the market, you name it, this patient is taking it. Just that he probably have to do a lot of things first; cut pill A into 4, pill B into 6, pill C into 3, pill D have to eat first before all the other pills, and pill E 5 minutes after pill A.

Seriously, I swear the patient could be more depressed after he consulted that private doctor.

Then again, should I start my own private practice next time, I assure you I'll give you a discount. And I assure you I won't give you such a long list of medication. I'll probably prescribe you the second most expensive drug in the market. LMAO.
