So I was at the doctors the other day, which i never go to. The nurse was doing the usual form filing and questionairre, “Do you have any allergies” she asks me, Ive already marked no on the form “No, no allergies” i answer, ” You dont take any medications?”, she asks, again I’ve already marked no on the form ” no, no medications” I answer, “no medications?” she responds incredulously, “no, nothing” I repeat. I then say “Is that rare nowadays for someone not to be taking any medication?”, “yes”, she answers, “everyone is taking something”.

Isnt it interesting in this day and age, that it is rare for someone to not be on a steady prescription, wether its for mental illness, behavioral/anxiety issues, or a physical condition.  If we are truly healthier these days, why is there a need for so much medication, for so many drugs? Have we truly become a culture that believes that a little pill will fix everything, and no longer have any personal responsibility for ourselves?? Are we truly putting our lives and our health in the hands of big pharmaceutical companies who only make a enormous profit off of us not getting better?
Where is the logic in that? Why would anyone be motivated to help us under that premise?
