My doctor is based and pretty funny. He makes about 50k extra a year on the side from pharma, but he doesn't recommend or suggest their drugs at all, he's very anti-medication unless it is absolutely required. I met him because I was having some heart issues and I went to my ex-doctor and he wanted to start me on all kinds of pills, so I got a second opinion. A friend of mine suggested my current doc and I went in to talk to him. When I pulled in the parking lot I saw a dude in scrubs getting out of a 70s Chevy truck that was beat to hell and assumed he was a nurse. Nope, he was my new doctor. He looked at my EKGs and ran some tests and told me I didn't need drugs, I needed to walk 10,000 steps a day and stop drinking too much booze and fried shit. So, I did. I dropped 25lbs and cleaned up my diet and within four months my heart was back to college-level strength and I had no issues.
