Big Pharma Claims Another Victim


Adverse drug reactions from "properly" prescribed drugs are the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. Only heart disease, cancer, and stroke kill more Americans than drugs prescribed by medical doctors. Reactions to prescription drugs kill more than twice as many Americans as HIV/AIDS or suicide. Fewer die from accidents or diabetes than adverse drug reactions.

You're right. We hear about this sort of thing when it happens to one of the celebrity class. We never hear about drug reactions, medical mistakes and iatrogenic diseases when they happen to people who can't afford to go after the establishment.

Bizarre psychiatric side effects are particularly hard to identify. There's one drug out there that apparently makes you want to gamble!
