Yes, the Side Effects Might Kill you!

     Step right up folks and choose your poison.  How about some Januvia for your Diabetes II?  Or Stelara for clear skin? Come one come all. But user beware because there are horrible side effects that can cripple and even kill you! Also, if you are allergic to these drugs you must get permission from your doctor. Tell him all the medicine you are presently taking. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery.
      No drinking of hard liquor whatsoever, even wine would do you harm. Always call your doctor first, especially if you experience a dry throat, low blood pressure, high blood pressure, extreme perspiration, loud coughing, swollen legs, growling stomach, incontinence, internal or external bleeding, double vision, shortness of breath and sore feet.
     Should any of these side effects appear, do not hesitate to call 911,  or quickly have someone drive you to the nearest hospital for ER treatment. That could save your life. Yes, you might die from an overdose of any of the powerful drugs being advertised on radio, television and in newspapers and magazines.
     Then too, folks, your doctor can offer you free samples. Things like Anore, Namenda, Invokana, Brintallix, Victoza, Lyrica, Harvori, etc. He has drawers filled with the tiny pills from drug company salesmen. Just remember, "if you don't ask, you don't get."  And drug companies "have what it takes to take what you've got." The latter can be reduced to one word:  MONEY. 
     You will never see a drug company's front lawn looking like Tobacco Road, with used auto  tires, broken glass, rusty wheel barrels and auto parts strewn around. No, their lawns are beautifully kept manicured to look like church property. Don't even think of throwing an empty soda can or Starbuck coffe cup on the lawn. Security cameras will have recorded your foul behavior and you will be evicted and possibly beaten up by mean security guards.
     Finally, I suggest you stop using any drugs at all. Live a healthy life by eating moderately, exercising and laughing out loud at all the indignities of life that threaten you. Remember, laughter is the only tranquilizer without side effects. Laughing releases endorphins within your body that protect your immune system. Forget about calling your doctor. He's much too busy either playing golf or on the phone with his stock broker.
     I hope you will feel some solace from this Blog, because that's its purpose. We are surrounded by so many "cure all" drugs that do nothing but empty your wallet. Don't fall into a sucker trap that addicts you to pills that pretend to perform. Nor should you interrupt your doctor's golf game or his purchase of stock. He needs to pay his malpractice insurance, in the event you have to sue.
