I think there are two issues here
and they should be kept apart. They
should be kept apart for a very good
reason; if they become causally linked
the accusation of responsibility comes up.If that happens, the result is that the
"pharm rep" will blame the doctors, and
if it is the doctor speaking, will blame
the "pharms", and if is the "user" like
me, well, i'll just be undulating back
and forth ad infinitum, not really knowing
who is wrong or right.So, issue one: Drugs and their side effects
regardless of the variability of prescription
and assuming they are prescribed as advised
by the pharms;Issue two: the doctors and how they handle
the drugs; they may follow the advise to the
letter or not.But to speak of these two issues en masse without
statistical backing, is really an invalid
way of arguing.Squiggles
