Fertility Treatment

Whether we're talking about reproductive endocrinologists or any other type of medical specialty, most doctors have been targeted by the drug companies since they were medical students. Many people just expect that if they go to see a doctor, they'll bring home a prescription of some sort. I'm not saying that there aren't some good medications out there that really do save people's lives, but I'm a good example of someone who bombarded my body with fertility drugs, had a number of adverse affects, and went on to succeed with all-natural methods. Here is an article about how doctors may be brainwashed by the drug companies:

How Drug Companies Brainwash Doctors so Doctors Brainwash You with Drugs

From the article:

"The study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, found that by the third year of medical school, students get, on average, one gift or attend one activity sponsored by a drug company each week. It also found, via a survey sent out to 1,143 third-year medical students at eight medical schools, that:

93.2 percent of the students were asked or required by a physician to attend at least one lunch sponsored by a drug company.

68.8 percent of the students did not think the gifts would influence their practices.

57.7 percent believed the gifts would not affect colleagues' practices.

Students tended to feel that their peers were more likely to be influenced than they were.

80.3 percent of the students believed they were entitled to gifts.

"Basically, we have medical students exposed to marketing. We know the marketing is biased in favor of the products. We know the students don't think they are being influenced. So they're being set up to be influenced without knowing it, and to prescribe in a way that is going to be bad for their patients," Sierles said."
