I am currently:

Doctors in the NHS make absolutely no money from prescribing drugs under the NHS. Doctors are encouraged not to prescribe drugs or to prescribe cheaper, generic versions. A doctor would not be giving you medication for money.

Now, the cost of you being in hospital is different, because it comes under different services, which means different departments pay for it. This is not something that happens with medication. You would not have been detained for a profit. You would have been detained because you were seriously ill. There are incredibly strict rules on sectioning, etc. as anyone here will tell you, and nobody makes money out of you being in hospital - ultimately that's all money coming out of the NHS.

I think it would be a good idea for you to talk to your doctor about these thoughts. Are you seeing anyone at the moment?



It doesn't matter where you come from; it matters where you go.
No-one gets remembered for the things they didn't do.
We won't all be here this time next year,
so while you can take a picture of us.
We're definitely going to hell,
but we'll have all the best stories to tell.
