``I've had kids whom I've told not to play that went doctor shopping and found a physician that said they could play,'' said Andrew Blecher of the Southern California Orthopedic Institute, and the team doctor for Notre Dame High. Instead, he believes addicts know how to manipulate the health system, whether through doctor shopping, fooling gullible physicians with fake illnesses or going to urgent care clinics where doctors have little personal relationship with patients. This prevents the practice of doctor shopping for a favorable diagnosis. |
