What the doctor orders is what you get. You can typically choose your doctor, as well as get a second opinion. The doctors are generally paid the same.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoThese are some pharmacists talking about prior authorizations for medicine, and they seem to exist in Canada, UK, AUS, and NZ. https://www.reddit.com/r/pharmacy/comments/oekhrp/curious_about_retail_pharmacy_outside_of_the_us/ https://www.reddit.com/r/pharmacy/comments/oekhrp/curious_ab... I would be surprised if any country gave doctors blank checks for everything since no one has unlimited resources. There most likely is a system for figuring out where waste is happening and avoiding it.
