Are people taking too many drugs

Excellent reply. I am old enough to remember that when you went to see a doctor you got a real examination. Nowadays they look at the computer. You are lucky if they even listen to your heart. The medical profession has gone downhill. A lot of the problem is due to the insurance industry which is not interested in health but only money. Bottom line is that the majority of the doctors you see do not really know what is wrong with you and they don't have the time and inclination to find out. So they just throw a bunch of drugs at you and hope something sticks.

Yep.

Three words sum up the source of the problem:

Private equity companies.

I blame the MBAs and their bean-counting underlings who are really diagnosing me more than the medical professionals, whose hands are tied by their corporate overlords.

The problems are intractable as long as the pernicious influence of big money in D.C. continues ... which is probably forever.
