Pharmaceuticals Overwhelming the Airwaves

Is anyone as sick as I am of seeing all these commercials for various pharmaceutical companies telling us to “ask our doctor” about this pill, that shot, this medicine, that remedy? First of all, who can afford to take all those medications? Secondly, what about all of the side effects? Thirdly, it seems as if solving the symptoms of one disease is overcome by the inclusion of other problems stemming from the new medicines. I for one will live with my diabetic nerve pain rather than take one more prescription!
