That may be true for some doctors, but I find that my doctors and many others have no first-hand experience with the most common side effects other than what they read in their knowledge base regarding a specific medication's contraindications. Many of us including doctors are vulnerable to the Pharma machine and the information spewed. I envy people in other countries who don't have to view advertisements of pharmaceuticals. If you believed what the actors portray, you'd thing it was a wonderful world with all our symptoms, aches, pains, and limitations being corrected by a pill.
