I'm torn on the issue. Cause I know a doctor should know what to assign his/her patients.

But unfortunately there are those that don't. My mother's doctor (no longer a doctor...) put her on some acid reflux pills that were known to cause iron absorption issues, and then didn't know why she started having anemia related problems.

My family doctor when I was younger refused to answer any of my questions about side effects. He wanted me to take pills to cure athletes foot rather than just washing my feet, using powder, etc. He got mad at me when I told him I wasn't going to take the pills and was just going to clean my feet and use powder. But he refused to answer any questions about the pills I asked other than "It will make your athlete's foot go away."

The possible side effects portion of the ads were more informative than my doctor was. (He's no longer a real doctor either... I think he now takes care of prison inmates...)

This has always been the case.

There are books about medications.

Usually, a doctor should be someone you can trust with such decisions. I had doctors who just prescribed me anything short of Valium/Ritalin if I asked nicely, and one who refused to give me antibiotics for my tonsils until my life was endangered.


One thing I dislike about how it's handled in the US is that there are ads for prescription drugs. If it's a prescription drug, prescribing it should be a doctor's decision.
Different companies praising the aerodynamic shape of their acetaminophen paracetamol pills is a whole different type of ad in my view. Might be it's mostly because I am used to it.

I'm all for pulling he ED commercials if, at the same time, they pull the adds for vaginal itching.

Talk about an appetite suppressant.

Vaginal itching is caused by Spoilerlack of shaving foam

I thought it was caused by the lack of a properly inserted *****.

It's like nature's back scratcher... but for your ******.

Well, you still die, unless you have money.

That hasn't changed since the old days. Or ever, really.

Ya, I just remembered the South Park "Cure for Aids" episode. (Roughly 180,000USD injected directly into the blood stream)

Occasionally they have a good episode or two.

Positively.
