Ah..... thanks. Never heard them described by an acronym before.

We are definitely a "give me a pill" society. And we definitely have a "give them a pill" medical community (with lots of exceptions on both counts). I wonder which is the cause and which is the effect? Moot point, since now it is a vicious circle.

Lots of commercials make me shake my head at the gullability of the American people (and I know that much is true for the rest of the world as well), but the ones that really sicken and sadden me are these commercials that do nothing but show someone having a beautiful time and they spout the name of some drug and tell you to ask your doctor if it's right for you. They don't even bother to tell you what malady this drug is supposed to help!

What kind of people have we become when they actually expect us to call up our doctor and say, "Hey, doc, I just heard about this great new pill called methoripmeoff. I have no idea what it does or what it's for, but do you think I could try some?"
