Buy a PDA (Physians Desk Referance) and make friends with the owners
of the local feed and grain store.

Or, buy a PDR even if you *don't* plan on shopping there.
The book is chock-full of information about the drugs
that doctors and pharmaceutical companies push. Interesting
reading, that.

Man, some of them are really ugly, too. Today, I was editing prescribing
information for clozapine, which can drop your white-cell count and kill
you. Be glad you're not schizophrenic.

When you get into the "last ditch" drugs for horrendous conditions, you get
a whole new perspective on "side effects" and risks. Like, some of them are
death. So you're playing a game of statistics and hoping you roll sevens.
