Ask your Doctor...

Ask your doctor if this is right for you. This is what we have heard in TV commercials for a few years now. The doctor then gets lots of “trail samples” that they can try. If your doctor thinks that this is not a good drug for you to take, you go to another one that will. This is such an unethical practice that the pharmaceutical are doing. How many of these commercial even tell you what the drug is supposed to cure. In most cases when they list the side effects it is worse than what the drug is supposed to cure. So the plan is to get you hooked on whatever drug you can get from your doctor all the while lobbying Congress to get Medicaid and Medicare to include them in their coverage. I have no doubt that the pharmaceutical companies had a huge part in the Senior Prescription Drug Plan disaster. I am not upset when Vioxx was pulled from the market. These companies had to know that when you “hook” millions on a drug there would be negative consequences with some people. All these companies have done is to create a whole new group of ambulance chasing lawyers…
