A few nights ago watching TV, I chuckled at yet another pharmaceutical ad. It was for some asthma medicine, I have no idea which one. I suppose even if I did, I would say I didn't remember for fear of the Pharma Cartel sending a "representative" to either sue me or break my fingers.
Anyway, this ad's "small print" was that it contained a drug that has been known to cause "asthmatic death".
The hell? Talk about the cure being worse than the disease...

Asthmatic irony

I heard that ad while I was cleaning the other day! And really, as someone who has had asthma since I was a kid - my thought is, isn't that what the medicines are supposed to help freaking PREVENT?
If a drug causes what it is supposed to help with, I'm thinking that's a pretty shiatty drug right there. That's like taking Dexatrim and saying in the fine print "may cause weight gain."
WTF!?!?
Drink beer to stay sober!
