How long do you think it's going to take before the drug advertising is brought to an end?

I won't hold my breath.

Americans have been led by medical professionals and the drug industry to believe that prescription and over-the-counter drugs are completely safe. You know, the same shpeel that the tobacco industry gave for decades.
.
On the rare occasion when I seek health care, I routinely ask doctors "are there any side effects I should watch for?" Their answer, "Oh no. XYZ is safe". Later, I read the warning pamphet stapled to the bag... a LONG list of serious and possibly fatal side effects. Doctors LIE.

Yes, Pink... it's all about the almighty dollar.
