Sean,

 SD> I used to be a Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPhT; it's trademarked)
 SD> and in my initial studies to become a CPhT and then in my continuing
 SD> studies afterwards, I noticed something: many, many medications list
 SD> death as a side effect.  I'm saying this straight-faced and sober.

  I know none of us is getting out of here alive, but good grief!! To
me, if it mentions that, WHY am I to take it??

  My late father's late sister (they both died of pancreatic cancer),
went through chemo, etc. -- it gave her "an extra year of life", but
there was no quality of life. This week is the 14th anniversary of my
Dad's passing.

 SD> The US is now the only country in the world that allows drug
 SD> advertisements in mass media.  Ever notice that a drug commercial on TV
 SD> talks 15 seconds about the benefits of the drug and 45 seconds with
 SD> side effects and warnings?  Makes you wonder.

  I think of Jeff Foxworthy's video on YouTube on that (search for
Jeff Foxworthy Medicine Side Effects). He hits the nail on the head
with it...with a few zany things thrown in for good measure. <G>
