My wife has weight issues that effect her health. Here is the thing. She has low thyroid and her tests come out as just within normal on the low side. She has other symptoms of low thyroid with hair and such and her doctor refuses to up her relatively cheap thyroid medication dosage (which we have to pay for anyway) and instead has her on ozempic. I firmly suspect shannigans like what caused the opiod epidemic. I see no reason this doctor is so adamant about using ozempic without some sort of quid pro quo. Pisses me off.
Sorry to hear that. Hope your wife gets the treatment she needs. Yeah, there are laws to prevent direct payments but there are other ways providers can benefit from prescribing specific meds. You don’t have a billion dollar industry without breaking/getting around some rules.
