Every commercial that comes on TV is a prescription drug ad.
“Ask your doctor for Generisolene! Only Generisolene cures what ails you” really? I’m going to go piss off my GP because I saw an advert? I think my doctor knows what medications I need better than my fucking TV
Ah! But there’s another component. My ex-wife worked in surgery as a nurse, later as some sort of quasi-surgeon. The drug reps used to take them all out partying. They got paid bank and had an expense account to back it up.
And yes, asking your doctor for a treatment often works. If it’s not problematic, they’ll often give you what you ask for to avoid an argument. I’ve been prescribed antibiotics, without even asking, because they’re so used to being hassled for them.

I can’t watch TV for four minutes without thinking I have five serious diseases.
Like: “Do you ever wake up tired in the mornings?”
Oh my god, I have this! Write this down. Whatever it is, I have it!
Half the time I don’t even know what the commercial is.
There’s people running in fields or flying kites or swimming in the ocean.
Like: "That is the greatest disease ever. How do you get that?
That disease comes with a hot chick and a puppy!
Song here
How great it is, not to live in the US !
