Prescription drug commercials.

Why are there commercials begging you to beg your doctor to prescribe these drugs? A good doctor should prescribe whatever they think will cure what ails ya.

I don't mind the concept of them but they always list off the list of possible side effects and it's almost always enough to drive you away

I've often wondered if other countries have the types of commercials America has. Do they have commercials outside the US for military recruitment that make serving look like a video game?

When I travelled through America, I was shocked at the amount of legal help ads. There were so many ads, on TV, bus stops, billboards about suing people or being sued.

No, but they don't need to because their military sucks. US has been footing the bill for world peace for too long. Other NATO countries need to pony the fuck up.

Because a doctor might have heard of four or five drugs that cure one thing, but the company that put money into marketing the drug to you also put money into marketing that drug to doctors to make it stand out more, so they're just as likely to trust it as you are.

because American Medicine is about profit not helping people. they can't profit if they aren't convincing people to take their medications..."hey yea i AM depressed! i NEED THAT!"" 9/10 its not difficult to get your doctor to give you a prescription for a medication in a "ask your doctor about..." commercial.
