As a European this mindset sounds completely insane to me. If my doctor tried to goad me into treatment with his sponsored products, I’d be looking for a new doctor and put the medical ethics oversight on their ass.
A doctor has to provide you with the correct treatment choice, not whatever he gets paid the most for.
I assure you the doctor both recommends what they think will be effective and plug what is being sold. Pharmaceutical market absolutely exists in the EU.
Yeah that’s the compromise we make with public healthcare supplied by private companies. But I am still confident that any doctor will suggest the best treatment, and not the cheapest or best reimbursed. They might consider that too, but only after establishing the proper treatment.
