That. Exactly that. That goes so far that even when it is only the choice between the original pharmaceutical product and a generic, doctors will think twice out of fear to be sued if something goes wrong. I have one very scientifically inclined doctor in my family who fully understands that the chance of a generic being less effective is negligible. But, depending on the patient, she will prescribe the much more expensive original. Financially she does not profit from this at all, writing a prescription can be billed in her country but the height of the bill does not depend on the price of the prescribed medicine.
