with descriptions like - which could be fatal...
And with a bunch of smiling people dancing around and singing about the wonderful drug.
To be fair, they do say - if not treated, could be fatal. So it's not the drug, it's your your dumb ass failing to recognize that the drug is killing you, and not getting said ass into the hospital on time, where it becomes the hospital's fault.
They do say something like, if you start to die, call your doctor so yes, they cover themselves.
The big Pharma reps come to their offices already showing what is being pushed. doc is unlikely to go against it.....
Very few drugs actually have mortality as a meaningful adverse effect. The ones that do are typically last line drugs for life threatening conditions. You try them when you're out of all other options. I can think of a couple of antibiotics and some cancer drugs that are like that. These aren't run-of-the-mill maintenance medications.
If you're hearing about a drug with mortality as a legitimate adverse effect, that's a conversation that should never be handled by a pharma company ad exec or sales representative. It should be handled by their attending physician who has explained to them all of their treatment options thoroughly so the patient can make a FULLY informed choice. Sometimes, you do indeed take the risk because that 5% mortality for patients on ventilators receiving X drug probably have a >50% of dying without the drug from the infection or cancer that's eating their body alive - and you've tried every other safer option.
which always splashes cold water on the person hoping to be cured of their ailment.
Add in anal leakage, taint rot, etc etc.
They probably also own the adult diaper market.
