In addition to Pharma, psychiatrists are also raking in money from expensive
drugs that adults and children may not even need. A psychiatrist working eight
hours a day doing talk therapy "earns approximately $940 a day, $4,700 a
week and $225,000 per year," notes an article called, "The
Industrialized, New-Deal Age of Psychiatry," by
psychiatrist Ronald Ricker. That is "chump change" compared with
15-minute, once-a-month med checks that net from $85 to $100 dollars, says
Ricker. By seeing 38 to 42 patients each day at $100 a visit plus extra fees
averaging $30 per appointment, a psychiatrist can make "roughly $104,000 a
month, and $1,248,000 per year," he computes. The pill bonanza is abetted by
the phony disease and patient groups Pharma
funds. END
