Prescription drug humor

 "You go tell the doctor what drugs you want, that's how we're doing it now."One more reason to elliminate the FDA.

I'm a pharmacist and I have to say I love this video.  So many drugs are designed for people who just want some excuse to live their shitty lifestyle without consequence.  I'd much rather tell that fat person to empty their cart of the Pepsi and Delissio pizza than sell them their metformin and pantoprazole but unfortunatley thats not how the health care system works (and I'm Canadian).  Its hard to reconcile a paleo/primal/whatever we're calling it today lifestyle with my five years of pharmacy schooling and career that i love.  Instead of shelling out pills I want to  actually help these people, but I can't.  Lipitor/Celebrex/etc are all patients seem to need when in fact a diet with less Coke and McD's would probably help immensely.  Anyway, huge fan of the blog and keep it up!Disaffected pharmacist from Canada, Mike 

 that was wonderful! the last part particularly fascinates me...i have often wondered the same thing for heartburn drug commercials...wouldn't it be just be easier to not eat that thing? no, it would be harder (at first) for most, but people these days have eroded wills and that kind of discipline is in my experience generally frowned upon as if it's some sort of self-mortification, which it is...it's called self denial. People think they are so advanced but they cannot even understand the signals being sent around within their own body, either they can't understand them or they choose not to, i don't know which is worse. People are numb. They think they can have it all which they can't, and even if you could, I bet you still wouldn't be satisfied.

"Spooky burps." I am never saying "heart burn" or "acid reflux" again.  "Oh no, he's fine. Just has Spooky Burps."
