Re: Doctor visit

Really? Which drug is that? I want to ask my doctor if it's right for me. Hey! already got nose bleeds and headaches.

On a somewhat sober note, Florida's AG, who is a Democrat [and a perpetual thorn in the side of the Gov], thinks drug manufacturers are inflating cost to gouge the Medicaid program.

bleeding. I would have to have a very horrible disease to put up with
rectal bleeding as a side effect!

I think their marketing teams have decided that just giving a hint like
that
will encourage your curiosity, which stimulates interest so you will ask
your doctor. Then, since the subject has been brought up, he/she'll
discuss
its benefits with you. Otherwise, he may be too busy to bring it up.
Even
if it is not applicable to you, the more often your doctor hears a patient
ask, "What's this Nexium I've been seeing on TV?", the more it reinforces
the brand name in the doctor's head and the greater the likelyhood he/she
will prescribe it when indicated.

I've noticed that, too. Sometimes I think the ads should be on
"Saturday
Night Live" as spoofs. They are really ridiculous.
