Caller: Why would anyone trust pharmaceutical companies?

Tell Judge to JAIL Trump for violating gag order AGAIN: atadvocacy.com/jail-trump-5624?ref=dp

I work as a drug manufacturer and I get attacked 1-2 times a year by strangers on social or dating apps saying I’m a terrible person (to put it nicely). When I ask them what I do for work they get confused and say basically I have committed these scandals in recent past. I then usually say I have nothing to do with pricing or testing, just making it. I was told that o should be ashamed to even be in the industry. I reply by saying that by that logic all doctors, nurses, clinic receptionists should then be bad because some doctors are corrupt. Then I get blocked.

I really wish people would stop conflating pain meds that you can FEEL the effects of with meds like blood pressure meds. Nobody is doctor-shopping to get Lorsatan that they don't need.

Being in pain is no picnic either

The pharmaceutical industry is full of corruption and greed, but this definitely is a complex issue. You don’t want to avoid prescription drugs entirely as some drugs will literally prevent you from dying, but you do want to do plenty of (proper) research before choosing to get new prescriptions. Many would be surprised to learn that a high amount of commonly prescribed drugs have longterm, serious consequences. For example, proton-pump inhibitors (the most commonly prescribed type of drug in my country) lead to weak bones and a shortened lifespan and SSRIs, the most commonly prescribed class of antidepressant, can lead to permanent sexual dysfunction even after discontinuing the drug.

Corruption is the problem with the pharmaceutical companies.

While in the US, I was surprised by the amount of television ads for medicine and how often they were on. I would have thought these would be restricted somehow.

No matter what you're talking about, as David said here, "it is more complicated than that."

the medicine is only life saving if you can afford it, which applies to fewer people each and every day as they continue to price gouge

You never hear rockclimbers say 'you cant trust rope companies'

DP, the caller is giving me a headache, I will take some Tylenol.

there is a basic reason for trusting medical companies, with a healthy dose of scepticism, dead people don't need meds. On the other hand, all meds have some kind of side-effect, even if it's just the user being allergic, so it would be wise to be careful.

On Saturday, i got a severe cut on my ring finger where it was damn near severed off and had to get 6 stitches put in. The good thing is my job is paying for all the stuff.

Some of these are damn fascinating.

Hey any comment about the genocide?

Doctors may prescribe opioids, a class of drugs used to treat pain, after surgery or an injury. Although opioids can be an important part of treatment, they have serious risks like addiction, abuse, and overdose, especially if used continuously.

From Harvard that systematic reviews of hospital charts found that even properly prescribed drugs (aside from misprescribing, overdosing, or self-prescribing) cause about 1.9 million hospitalizations a year. Another 840,000 hospitalized patients are given drugs that cause serious adverse reactions for a total of 2.74 million serious adverse drug reactions. About 128,000 people die from drugs prescribed to them. This makes prescription drugs a major health risk, ranking 4th with stroke as a leading cause of death. The European Commission estimates that adverse reactions from prescription drugs cause 200,000 deaths; so together, about 328,000 patients in the U.S. and Europe die from prescription drugs each year. The FDA does not acknowledge these facts and instead gathers a small fraction of the cases.’ 3 This is approximately one thousand times as many deaths as the Boeing Max 737 crashes, and it happens each and every year. To be pedantic this is a mere 947.98 times as many deaths. In addition, as the Harvard article also states: ‘Few people know that new prescription drugs have a one in five change of causing serious reactions after they have been approved.’

0:00 - Let's go next to - oh, I don't know 😂👍

I've witnessed first hand how like with als, these drugs are quickly approved and some of them now have been taken off the market. My dad has als, and the doctors, when he was first diagnosed said that the drugs available were only like 20 percent effective. Some of those drugs are now not even on the market anymore.

I have to go with the caller and suggest all magas, throw away all of your perscriptions. Stop going to the doctor and just pray for trump to heal you.
