Sadly, big Pharma has too much control over the medical profession. Pharma is dictating how new Doctor's are trained.

Who decides on the new meds that come out, Doctor's, Lab techs, etc,..no, marketers now decide what drugs will be released based on mass profits. The new approach to meds is to keep you on as many meds as long as possible. The goal of many new meds are life long use, only treating symptoms.

They should outlaw prescription ads on TV.

It's getting laughable at my Doctor's office, often the pharma reps outnumber the patients. Many complain after waiting for an hour of the many reps that go right back and visit Doctors.
