Random ramblings of an Oncology trainee

Doctors seeking greener pastures

Was reading TIME magazine when I came across an interesting article titled 'Doctors without Dollars'. The author writes about a number of his doctor friends who had left medicine for greener pastures here in the US.

From selling 'magnetized' water to body hair removal, doctors in the US are leaving medical practice for more lucrative fields.

Unfortunately, some doctors are going into quasi-medical fields which the author terms as NRWATS or "nothing-really-works-anyway therapies". These doctors often give undeserving credibility to these unproven therapies. The lay public is then deceived into thinking that since it is endorsed by a M.D. that it actually works. Personally, I have also been approached by people who would tempt me with easy money to lend my name to promote such products.

What a SCAM!
