Drug Ads

I find it strange that so many drug companies have to advertise their product on TV and elsewhere.

If something is wrong with you, you should go to the doctor and then the doctor can tell you what medication to take. It makes no sense to see an ad on TV, think "Hey, I need that," and then go see the doctor to get it.

The way drug companies push their product on doctors is also scary. So now the doctor has some incentive for pushing a certain type of medicine, even if it might not work as well as another brand.

The whole pharmaceutical industry is out of control.
