Hearing the fine print

Hello!


Hope you are doing fine!



Really? Secondary effects might include dry throat that might be fatal?? I know I talked about it before but it never ceases to amaze me that we as humans have come to accept death as a "rare" side effect so that we can live more comfortable lifes.

These side effects are announced double pace speed on the US channels, after the commercial states the benefits of the drug, the voice of the announcer speeds up to tell you all the possible negative side effects that sometime may include death!! And we accept this Russia roulette game hoping that we are not part of that unlucky few that may suffer the negative side effects. But at least American get these warnings, here in Canada I have never seen the warnings on the commercials when they are airing

As an example, I once was taking a medication to lower my cholesterol and my urine was becoming dark, I had to do the research on the net to come to the conclusion it was a bad thing so I stopped taking the pill and talked to my doctor who told me I had done good.


Take care
