Drummer,
The actions of your doctor are not aimed at using
and abusing you, but aimed at obtaining second
opinions from other professionals in the field.
A second opinon, or even a 20th are always warranted.
We do it as well, go to more than one doctor if
we disagree or need to verify a diagnosys. Now,
tow heads think better than one. That is the case here.
Is the doctor making profit off of you? Of course he is,
but the brunt of the profit comes from your visits
to his office, not the sharing of your clinical data.
To stop his profit making all you need to do is
stop going to him. Also, stop taking the drugs
for CH so pharmaceutical companies do not make
any money off you. For that matter, we could all
recluse ourselves to a distant Siberian Tundra
and live off the land so nobody makes profit off of us. :)
