Advertising prescription drugs direct to consumers should be criminal. If the doctor is to be the gatekeeper in our system, then they should only be allowed to advertise to the doctor. It is up to medical professionals to know their "medical tool kit" and prescribe appropriately for their patients, not the patient's job to come in an ask for drugs they don't need. If the patient has questions about a treatment recommendation, then they can ask their doctor who has the training and experience to explain it properly without that asinine list of 32 pages of sides effects most of which are irrelevant artifacts of an oversensitive clinical testing practice.
And frankly when we do talk about cancer drugs with really nasty side effects, the doc (and the pharmacist too, btw) need to sit down with the patient and walk them through all of the risks and benefits of what poison they're about to put into their body in hopes of treating their disease, the proper way to do it, what to expect, how to handle some of the adverse effects of the drug without polypharmacy, etc. The patient has a right to know what they're getting into and the pharma companies never fully disclose that.
They try and pressure the doctor from all angles to push their product.
Current cancer treatment drugs are a scam. The ones they use first should be the ones used as a last resort.
Seeing my Mother currently under the gun of the chemotherapy pressure is sad. They present it as the ONLY choice to keep you alive longer than X amount of months, and skip over all the potential downsides. They also can never tell you how much longer the chemo will even give you in terms of lifespan.
It’s one big scam. There’s a reason nutrition, generic drugs, etc. aren’t studied ($$$)
