can any one identify two groups whose interests doctors might serve?

this sounds like a homework question but what the hell... 1. the insurance company.  by running the least amount of test possible and prescribing generic meds they keep costs down and 2.  The Drug companies, alot of times if a doc prescribes a certain med, for something rather than one just as good, that drug company might see that the doc gets a lil kick back

I would be interested in seeing that myself. I also wonder\nwhat is their criteria for a doctor to be considered as the best doctor? What is the decision based on? And really, a best doctor for one person, might not be the best for another person......

All family doctors are medical doctors. They're a particular type called a general practitioner. Other kinds of medical doctors are pediatricians, obstetricians, gynecologists, surgeons, internists, opthamologists, cardiologists, andthe list keeps going.

That's quite a bit to sort through. I'll do my best.\n\nI believe that individual doctors almost always have the best interests of their patients in mind. Medicine as a whole, however, is far more interested in the bottom line. This applies especially to the drug companies. From what I understand certain diseases don't have enough people suffering from them to make it profitable to research treatments for them. Or, if the research has been done, there is not enough profit in manufacturing drugs to treat these people. I've even read that there are boutique chemists who make, by hand, very small runs of certain drugs at no profit to themselves, simply to help out.\n\nAs far as I'm concerned, this is inexcusable. Do I have a solution? No. Are alternative treatments viable? I'm sure that sometimes they are and sometimes they are not. Again, the problem comes down to making a buck. People who are suffering are, unfortunately, easy marks and snake-oil-salesmen have known this since the dawn of civilization.\n\nThe problem becomes sorting the con-men from the well-meaning, but dangerously untrained, from the people with actual remedies. This is very difficult and requires a tremendous amount of work on the part of people who often lack the time and energy to do the necessary legwork because they are sick.\n\nCoretta Scott King died seeking medical help from a quack. It is awful that she suffered such an undignified end, but as long as there are people to be taken advantage of, others will do their best to part them from their money. \n\nObviously not all alternative treatments are quackery, but they often get lumped together because of the actions of a few (many, actually) bad apples. I would suggest that the alternative-therapy industry engage in harsher self-policing as a way to remove the undeserved black-mark.\n\nAs for you responding to questions which are specifically targeted at individuals, I welcome this. The thing that I like most about Yahoo Answers is that it is a place that encourages the free exchange of ideas between anybody. I don't think that anyone can, or should, get upset when a targeted question receives several answers. That's the best thing about this place. So, feel free to throw your two cents in anytime. I really appreciate your response about Bush and Christians. I'd be very curious to hear what this man, who presumes to speak for all Christian Americans would have to say about that. Thanks for your input.
