Status Updates From Medicines That Kill: The Tr...

Hoo-boy. I don't even know where to begin.

Now he is saying that if I do not love God, the best treatment is out of my reach.

What a piece of work.

Alcohol, escalators, and working on Sunday are the work of Satan!

No. I am totally serious here.

WHAT THE FUCK AM I READING.

So apparently if I get sick or depressed, it's because I don't believe in God enough.

WHERE THE HELL DID THIS MAN GET HIS M.D.?

He "considers the bible to be the greatest health manual ever written."

...WHAT. WHAT. WHAAAAAAAAAT.

OMG. NOW HE'S QUOTING BIBLE VERSES AND GIVING LINKS TO MINISTERS.

LOOK, DUDE. DID YOU EVER TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST SECULAR?

In case you think I'm overreacting, STEP 1 of his TREATMENT plan is GET CLOSER TO GOD.

Ummmmmmmmm.

Okay, seriously, any dude who says that God is more useful than medicine is about a step away from being one of those bogus healers.

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO YOUR CREDIBILITY?

OH MY GOD. TELL ME YOU ARE NOT BRINGING UP GOD AND THE BRAIN, AND TELLING ME HOW I'M DESIGNED TO WORSHIP. TELL ME YOU ARE NOT DOING THAT.

YOU ARE. YOU ARE DOING THAT.

EXCUSE ME BUT NO.

How did we get from "I'm so great la la la go me" to epigenetics?

OMFG. DO NOT TELL ME WHAT MEDICATIONS CAN GET ME HIGH. WHAT IF A DRUG-ABUSING TEENAGER READS THIS? WHAT THEN?

YOU, SIR, ARE AN IDIOT.

Apparently a lot of men die because they know their medications will react badly with Viagra but would rather risk it than be impotent.

WHAT THE LITERAL FUCK.

Wtf. A pregnant woman hid a bag of meth in her vagina so the cops wouldn't find it, and ended up poisoning herself AND her unborn baby. WHAT THE HELL

People prescribe antibiotics for upper respiratory infections? Really? I've only received antibiotics for ear and sinus infections and the one blood infection I ever got. All other times, I got inhalers. :/

This man does not seem to grasp the irony in saying that he believes death via medication is probably the most common CoD in the U.S. and THEN saying, "But we'll probably never know the exact number."

That's like saying, I'm sure unicorns exist, I have zero proof and zero evidence, but I'm sure it's out there.

What about doctors and teachers overprescribing for/diagnosing ADHD? STOP BLAMING THE PATIENTS.

One of the rare but dangerous effects of antidepressants is psychosis resulting in suicidal/homicidal feelings. You're supposed to be supervised by your doctor and family during those periods, and call 9/11 if you have those feelings.

Makes you wonder what said family and doctor were doing when the kids went crazy. Especially since most doctors advise against that because of the increased risk.

This family KILLED their baby by giving it an adult-dose of a sleeping pill so it would go to sleep...

Good parenting. Bravo. -.-

That's right; taking antidepressants while pregnant can give your unborn fetus depression.

I had an adverse reaction to an antibiotic I was taking for a spiderbite that had turned septic. The antibiotic made me extremely photophobic, lethargic, break out in hives, dizzy, and nauseous. Not fun.

God, can you imagine being allergic to anesthesia?

"One study of Medicare patients with chronic diseases found that 24 percent had inadequate health literacy about their diseases and 12 percent had only marginal functional literacy. That makes up 36 percent of medicare patients!"

Wait...isn't that 12 percent part of the 24 percent??

Ughhh. This woman thought her birth control pills were supposed to be inserted "down there."

Scary stuff.

I'm surprised MAO-Inhibitors weren't listed among the most dangerous drugs but SSRIs were.

Read the list of restrictions for MAOIs. It's crazy:
