Lessons From A Pharmacist – I Get A Big, Fat Paycheck While You Stay Sick
Hi. My name is Dustin Rudolph. I’ve been a practicing pharmacist for over 10 years now, and I’m here to tell you something you may not like hearing. I get a BIG, FAT paycheck every two weeks while YOU (or at least the vast majority of you) stay sick. To put it bluntly, I get rich off of your misery.
Why does this happen? It happens because I, along with the rest of my colleagues in the medical field, practice profit-based medicine. We put profits before patients.
If this makes you angry then good. If this disappoints you then good. If you’re a fellow colleague of mine and me calling it like it is pisses you off then good. Quite frankly, I don’t give a damn how it makes you feel as long as it makes you feel something. That way I know I’ve fulfilled my purpose in writing this article because maybe, just maybe, you’ll do something about those feelings which will positively influence how you live your life from this point forward.
Before you go thinking that this is going to turn into a one-sided rant against my peers I’ll have you know that it’s not. I have a lot of respect for the individual people I work with in the medical field. We’re only trying to do the best we can for the patients we serve. The only problem is we operate in a dysfunctional healthcare system. We’re a product of a system centered upon greed and corruption at the top.
