Politics, opinions, snark. Proportions may vary. According to my inside sources, I have no inside sources. Not a huge fan of treason, lite beer or kale.

        Whenever I see a prescription drug ad, I can't help but think that if you need to go to your doctor and say you saw an ad for a drug you think might be good to try, you should probably consider getting a new doctor.

        Yes! I can’t imagine going to my primary care physician and saying “i saw this Rx on TV. Have you considered prescribing it for me?” How whacked would that be? Totally absurd!

        I can still remember the jingles, didn't know til I got older they were all like, Broadway tunes. I think they started allowing lawyers to advertise around the same time they OKd Big Pharma. That used to be a no-no, too.

        Sorry, let me explain. (1) Naive to think it would be $ saved. If drug co.s now can't advertise after doing it for decades, the money not spent on it goes to either finding legal ways to promote (re-expanding sales forces) or take additional profit & return it to investors or

        But w/out those ads, you wouldn't have as widespread a problem w/ patients self-diagnosing based on a 30sec commercial, then going to their docs to demand a specific brand-name drug that probably costs many times more than a comparable generic, which I think is the issue here.

        For that, we have the expanse of the internet. Patients bring more misinformation to me they’ve gleamed from the ‘net than from TV ads.
