Hi Healh.
I dont want you to confuse the public’s cricitism of the facts, with your role in the field of health.. It seems you are in the health field and are highly knowledgeable and conscientious.
That still has nothing to do with the over prescribing of America. It is a fact and doctors and pharmaceutical companies are all conspiring to put people on more and more drugs that should not even have approval, and with side effects worse than what they are suppose to alleviate. And in far too many cases, pills are being take off the market after it is too late and too many people and families have suffered. Drugs come and go in trends and we can list those drugs endlessly.
I work in the field on education. There is a problem with that field. I can be objective about the problems of social promotion of kids, and teachers who “tell” rather than “teach” or those who even dont like kids. But I wont cover up those problems feeling it would be a reflection on me, personally.
Back to our point. You dont have to ask me. You can ask any medical doctor who also practices alternative-complementary medicine, read the news, see the class action lawsuits, and look at the statistics of those being given things like statins, vicodin, ritalin, a whole host of mood altering drugs like zoloft, just for walking in the door with any semblance of a problem.
