I guess you right about not being able to sue the Pharma, that is if they would have listed the worst side effects on the label. Or if my doctor would have warned me, that this medicine could kill me. If all the websites are correct, I should only be taking 250/50 for my copd, not the 500/50 that I have been taking for 3 years. I understand your thinking, that maybe one drug could help you with your illiness, but the cure could kill you. I mean I may not die with a Pulminary disease, but; if I am lucky I could die of one of the side effects. That is what is wrong with the medicine and health fields in this country, why should we have to settle for dying from any medicine, especially when the medicines cost more than a lot of people's mortgages every month. It is not a good trade off. I understand though, 20 years ago, I got lead poisioning, and was told that if I take the med. to cure me, it was only a 50/50 proposition, but; if I didn't take it I would surely die, but; that was 20 years ago. Today we should not have to choose which medicine is going to kill us. If we sit silently by and allow the pharmacuticles to choose profits over the right and moral thing to do then we deserve what they do to us, but; my friend if somebody does not stand up and say enough is enough then all hope is lost.
