Man I am getting tired of watching drug ads and research calls for common ailments.
Tonights special event on the tube: "Are you depressed? You have signs of fatigue, weight gain, overeating, anti-social, hard to get out of bed some days? If so, you may be a candidate for a drug research trial at blah blah blah."
How about actually attempting to diagnose the CAUSE of the depression rather than medicating people? It is so simple to find causes of ailments if docs just take 30 minutes and actually talk with their patients.
Nowadays it is: "Whatcha got? Depression. Here's a script of DepressX. Ok - thanks." Done. $350.00 later the patient is drugged up and finds they have headaches, diarrhea or cannot sleep at night.
They come back to the doc two weeks later with this issue and doc says: "Whatcha got? Diarrhea. Here's a script of DiarrheaX. Ok - thanks." Patient leaves, pops wonder pill, diarrhea gone. Depression is back. Shoot. What now? Month later, patient goes back and sees wonder doc...
