I believe many medications are put on the market too quickly because you are always seeing lawyer commercials, "have you taken such and such and now is your eyeball hanging out of its socket, we can help." Also the physicians do not have the time to investigate each new medication that hits the market. A salesman shows up with free samples telling them to push this new drug because it will cure the common cold. I'm sure they are forewarned about side effects which have been declared by the drug companies but how often are we as a patient explained the side effects in detail instead of being handed a pamphlet with all of the legal type-faced warnings. Then we are given a three month supply of said drug with little or no follow up visits. It's happened to me. I guess the best solution is what most men do anyway, avoid the doctor, period! Only need to go when you are passed out and someone else decides you need to go or when your finger is hanging off being held on by a thin strip of skin. LOL Great Article! You make a lot of good points.Brian the old manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758843142806407239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7206306270675376391.post-83977132665365263772009-10-15T18:47:58.606-07:002009-10-15T18:47:58.606-07:00The links between the pharmaceutical companies, th...The links between the pharmaceutical companies, the American Medical Association and the FDA are appalling. They are, however, driven by the complicity of the consumer demanding a quick fix and the individual physicians doing their best to cope with malpractice insurance, patient demands and their own needs to run a profitable business. It's like the entire system is running on the Quaaludes they took off the market several years ago. As for the disclaimers, if you sit and actually listen to the litany of possible side effects, I'm not sure how you could, as a reasonable individual, swallow any of these medicines. It makes about as much sense as choking down a few razor blades and hoping for the best.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00665185832128655474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7206306270675376391.post-18657094952679807922009-10-15T17:06:45.178-07:002009-10-15T17:06:45.178-07:00It is so terrible that this is the case.
