not only that it on telelveltion and they are prescrible 9 different pills at once. especially sleeping pills and antidepressive especially the shrinks. the doctors its alright if needed but not 8 different types of pills they should be more causious. what do you think we should do what the tv and doctors are doing we see this on tv and we say to our doctor do you think we should try this to our doctors and we ask about that drug to our doctor. the reason can we seen it on tv. I think that wrong to adversist drugs or medication on tv then everyone ask their doctors if they can try it. then you have everyone getting addicted to drugs or prescribion drugs and they die possible I think it wrong then doctors get mad when you don't take it and people die? don't you think the government should control the drug commerications and the amount of drugs they can give to their patients so not accidents will happen. don't you think the government should know why patients a drug and how much?

A doctor can perscribe certain medicines.And when you get that medicine is warnings about what you can't take with them.Some patients don't always tell other doctors what other medication they are on.This can cause death but not to the fault of the first doctor but the person taking them.
Also you must steer clear of these drugs that work wonders on tv.They usually are dangerous and all hype.

Ditto everything you said.
Prescription drugs are all dangerous. That's why they are limited to prescriptions!
Many doctors abuse this because it's an easy and fast way to handle lots of patients and make more money.
The best drugs are NONE at all.

They do it because we beg them to. And because they get perks and kickbacks from drug companies. But mostly, because patients want a pill to cure their problems, which is easier for us (no diet, exercise, or other actual work), and easier for the doctor (no need to pursue additional diagnostics, consulting, or other treatment options).

Doctors get paid (by money or perks) everytime they prescribe a med. by the drug companies. Nice huh Then the drugs you are taking can cause other problems so that you need more.
