Peeing Alot, Back Hurts

panic in pharmacies

I have a discussion with a pharmacist edifying: "Doctor, since a few days a lot of patients come in with a list of 77 drugs monitor and ask us lots of information. Others come with their order and tell us "that's bad I do not take it, it no longer" in defiance of the advice of their physician or cardiologist " .

And this morning I walked into a pharmacy and I heard this:
-patient "can you give me something for big pain? "
-pharmacist" yes, advil tabs works fine.
- patient "Are you sure this is not toxic?"
Pharmacist "if death guaranteed within 24 hours, very effective ".
The pharmacist could not answer and reassure patients!

As for me, so I broke my foot in patients about side effects they are so I can tell, all very well educated and think about what I prescribe them to watch the leaflet or learning about Doctissimo.
What makes me think about this: if in civics in school, or SVT we took the time to teach students that a drug is a medicine, not candy, and it has virtues as side effects and everything is in the risk-benefit balance?
