Glad to see you've never visited a doctor's office in the past twenty
years.

Last year I was given one drug for asthma by a doctor.  Shortly there
after I developed a nasty ailment, had several visits to the same doctor
and specialists to work out what the ailment was.  I finally realized
the ailment was a reaction to the drug I was given so I stopped taking
it.  A month or so later returned to the doctor with more asthma
problems and was given *exactly* *the* *same* *drug*.  Needless to say I
didn't take it and I've not been back to that doctor since.

How many other people consult with doctors on an ailment and are given
drugs that later turn out to have major side effects - the media these
days is full of court cases regarding similar problems.  How many
doctors are still saying that recalled drugs e.g. Vioxx, are safe when
people have died from taking it?  Freedom of choice doesn't make much
difference if you don't have the information available to make your
decision, or if the healthcare providers (e.g. doctors, hospitals) are
getting paid by the pharmaceutical companies to push their products.
