I can’t imagine anyone respecting or trusting a thing a Dr says.

aTm proves yet again that it’s no greater than Blinn. Blinn isn’t full of the gay either. Chalk up 2 wins for the community college. Sorry you couldn’t get in @ UT.

Physician envy is the diagnosis. You can trust me, I’m a doctor. A Juris Doctor. I demand my clients call me Doc.

If that title is your priority while someone is on the edge of living or dying, then you're the one with the problem. Time to go stock shelves at Walmart. It's attitudes like this driving people like the OP to stop respecting your profession.

What about when you want to be put on medicine A but it has some dangerous interactions with medicine B? What about the treatment of said interaction?
Some of you people are so fricking dumb.

I was in the Army, so every medical professional is by default “Doc”.

Depends on if a patient is using insurance or not to pay for it. I am not necessarily opposed to patient requests for prescriptions with medical review by the payor. Basically, a prior authorization on any self requested prescription completed with review from the payor's clinical staff of RNs and MD's.
There are obviously alot more details that would need to come into play with other restrictions and such but for alot of people who may just be on an antihypertensive, it could make some sense.
By the year 2035 the US will have more people over the age of 65 than under the age of 18 and the model of healthcare delivery in this country will look VASTLY different. There will have to be a shift where more power is put into the patients's hands. The shift in location of where that care is provided will shift greatly from the brick & mortar clinics to patients homes.
The sick and unhealthy will dominate healthcare utilization and those who are healthy need to be empowered as much as possible.

Until your arse is on the line and that “doctor” now matters to you.

I understand that. But from a primary care standpoint, the healthy patients will still need monitoring too.
You will still need checkups and bloodwork even if you’re only on anti-hypertensives. Can’t just fill those willy nilly

Sure, but those kinds of things can be done and directly provided by the payer. I'm not suggesting anything willy nilly.
In home wellness visits performed and provided by payers, labs ordered by payers and performed at network laboratories where results are directly sent to clinical care teams employed by payers, PA's on antihypertensives where results from in home visits and lab results are reviewed along with other medication interaction, etc.
We do not and will not have enough primary care providers in this country to handle the demand soon to come. It's a fact staring us straight in the face BUT people still need primary care so there is not just a desire to get creative, it's a factual reality of necessity.

Well..... hopefully most people choose a doctor who is worthy of their respect because they're damn good at their jobs- and help them when they need it.
They aren't there to be your "buddy."

Well, when you are placing your orders it should come up as a contraindication, shouldn't it?
