Drug side effects

I’m more than slightly disturbed with some of the more fatal side effects of the drugs that some “well intentioned” doctors prescribe to deal with way less fatal medical “problem.” From the prime time television it would appear that you can either have acne or maybe clear skin with only a possible stroke. It’s interesting how completely unrelated some of these side effects are to theĀ medical situation that the doctors are trying to fix.

Inappropriate adverts on the telly…

It’s a mystery to me that some people manage to keep their jobs, let alone their dinner down, when at 7:00 the family is all gathered around the television watching Jeopardy or the like, and you are bombarded with the fourth ad for a vaginal itch treatment. Or they zoom in on the puss filledĀ cold sore that will be ‘virtually’ invisible after a zillion treatments with this nasal spray. Rewind a little, I’d like to return to “that itch you can’t scratch,” first of all- why can’t I scratch it? Secondly, how do YOU know? Most importantly- why are you telling me this at dinner time, I apparently trusted you with very private information and you betray that trust by telling millions of families- how could you?!

I’ve just been severely embarrassed by my lack of Jeopardy skills, and then I watched extremely attractive people tell me that I can cure my allergies with only a few ‘side-effects’ (another blog for another day) and then you have the nerve to tell me I can’t scratch my itch.

So M(iss)r(s). Advertiser, leave your lectures for after prime time… I need the pick me up of some supporting actress’ drama to build up my ego first. Or, at the very least, could you only run it once.

Peace :)
