"That was not the impression the lady gave me. I have to wonder why you would think that."
For two reasons, one is there is generally a reason behind everything and two is I know that some jurisdictions are much more stricter than others when it comes to passing out drugs. We already know that a high percentage of drugs marketed are garbage or at the very least unnecessary (generally speaking there is an alternative cure to prescription drugs.) It's also possible the lady you were talking to was presenting the good side. While I'm on here about this there was a discussion on CBC radio last night about screening for pre cancerous conditions. Anyway the bottom line is don't fall for it, it causes more problems than it cures. Your body has the amazing ability to tell you when you are sick. It seems we are just overwhelmed these days with this "drugstore mentality".
