One would think we're supposed to see these ads and then rush down to the local Doc-In-A-Box and say "Gee doc...I'd really like to try some of that "Skyrizi" for my lumbago issues..."
Yeah, like anyone can even get in to see a doctor within a month or two. Around here, doctors leave frequently and before being able to change any meds or anything you must have a $200 "consult" to meet the new doc. I know this by having a family member I frequently take to appointments. I myself gave up on the "medical community" long ago.
As the ads get toward the end a list of bad & possible horrible side effects is read.... Then...................but is so & so right fo you? . A s k y o u r doctor[and ya can see big pharma's drug reps come in whilst there]
This is actually one of my biggest pet peeves. I brought it up to my doctor once like who would ever do that and she said people ask her for specific drugs all the time. It's so crazy!
