I get it when I see a commercial for a Buick...hey, consumer, you drive a car, buy this Buick. Makes sense. But prescription meds? What am I supposed to do? Call my doc and say, "hey, doc, I need some gaziltrex, prescribe it, please." I don't get it. Doc is gonna prescribe whatever drug she gets the biggest kickback from. Quoting: Dances With Fire Did you miss the ultra-suggestive "Ask your doctor if _____ is right for you"????? |

I'm 31 and one of the shows I still watch is "Little House on the Prairie" on Hallmark Channel and INSP. Good grief, it's pill commercials, life insurance, and of course cancer commercials all the time on those channels. |

I was in the US about 15 years ago and they were constantly airing a commercial for a pill which I think was for acid reflux. Can't remember the name of it but no need really because it was marketed with the phrase, 'go ask your Dr. for the Purple Pill' I remember thinking WTF! |

All of these very long commercials where they spend about a full minute disclosing risks and showing a cute image or story. Who in the fuck see's that shit and asks the doctor for it? What doctor let's the patient determine the perscription based on a tv commercial? |
