My wife is the equivalent of a full RN in the States. She was shocked at
the advertising for drugs advising people to 'talk to your doctor' about
meds with a dizzying array of potential side effects.
She also noted within a couple years lawyers were mentioning some of the
same drugs and side effects, saying "If you suffer from any of these
symptoms, you may be entitled to"

Any serious look at the history of human beings over the millennia shows
that the species began in poverty. It is not poverty, but prosperity,
