    Don’t buy anything until it’s on special.

    I always assume that my doctors know what is needed, so therefore I am not going to do their job.

    Well of course not. Quackery abounds on television. Even on IG.

    I love how the disclaimer always says, "Do not take if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in “thisheredrugcankillya” ". I mean, how do you KNOW if you are allergic until you take it?

    If the disclaimer for side effects is longer than the actual commercial, it might be a clue.

    Medical advice from television? “I’m not a doctor but I play one on tv…”

    The problem lies in the fact that Big Pharma spends more advertising and selling its products than investing in research and development (R&D). Since the FDA lifted restrictions in 1977, spending on prescription drug ads has risen to $10 billion a year. In the same period of time, prescription drug expenditure, adjusted for inflation, has increased from 39.4 billion to 378 billion. Pretty good return on their investment.

    Why they limit your doctor visits to twenty minutes.

    But make sure your doctor is not big on pushing Big Pharma drugs. Hard to find them, because they love the perks they get from those companies to peddle their drugs. I am happy to say I have a doctor who does not push such drugs. But sadly, medical insurance does not cover this doctor. Big surprise?

    Well, it’s a Ka-Ching moment if he listens carefully and then prescribes whatever the commercial is for.

    OTOH, a lot of women have ended up with prescriptions for Viagra that way.
