One-third of all U.S. deaths due to prescription drugs. I say it's much higher, I'd go up to 50% because some deaths take a long time and the deaths can't be correlated. Don't forget the drugs in our water supply poisoning us involuntarily.

I went to a doc to get a note to avoid the mandatory flu shot at work back in 2018 or 19. I never saw anyone but a nurse and she handed me 5 scripts and an order for a mammogram without ever seeing any bloodwork. They are just pill pushers.

I am on two prescriptions but I did a lot of research before going on them. My current doc knows my feelings on it all and I only go to him because my bf insists. He just shakes his head at me and says he really wishes I'd be willing to take the drugs recommended for women over 40. It's crazy that they just blindly prescribe. I know this doc means well but he's brainwashed to the extreme.

The last physical doctor I went to wanted to give me 5 different pills and at least 3 shots.

I don't go to physical doctors anymore. Last time I needed something I used a $30 online place.

Yea, I know. Clinicians always ask what meds I'm on and are shocked when I give them the two I'm actually taking. Even those I wonder if they're helping or not. I have had several doctors, I trust tell me they're necessary, so...

I don't take any, and refuse to take ones I know won't do anything like cholesterol medication. That makes them very angry. It's so delicious.
