Sometimes I wonder what the big idea is in modern medicine. It seems like its drugs. Drugs for symptoms. Drugs to “manage diseases”. Drugs for healthy people to “prevent diseases”. Drugs to make you happy. Drugs to help you cope. Is it any wonder that health care organisations throughout the world are creaking under the soaring costs of more and more and more drugs. “Evidence based medicine” hasn’t helped – it’s all about prioritising drugs.
So, when I saw this ad on the front page of the free newspaper lying on the train the other day, I thought……well, tell me, what do YOU think?

Might it be better not to eat indigestible rubbish in the first place, rather than eat indigestible rubbish and then take a tablet in the hope that it might stave off the bad effects of eating said rubbish? Or am I simply stating the bleedin’ obvious?
ha! ha! Good to hear from you again, Martin! And, hey, seem the “bleedin’ obvious” ain’t so obvious! After all, some ad agency somewhere clearly thought this was a good idea (and so, evidently, did the drug company!!)
