Week 4 - Drugs for Everything

It might seem like we have a drug for everything but I don't think that really explains what's going on. Doctor's maybe prescribe a drug for just about any symptom but that doesn't mean that specific drug is the best for those symptoms. All these "side effects", as Larry says, are really direct effects. This tells me that we have a lot of drugs but they don't necessarily do what we would like them to do. Each person and each symptom is so specific that mass producing, for example a migraine drug or a depression drug, doesn't solve the specific problem that person may be having. So, yes we have a lot of drugs and you will be given a drug for what ever you complain about, but no they aren't properly prescribed. I mean if we had a drug for everything then there would be no cancer, no aids, no multiple sclerosis.
