Top 100 Selling Drugs in 2013

exactly. Rx'ing like there's no tomorrow.

"A pill for every ill". I agree that many/most docs are quick to grab a prescription pad. I had this same conversation with a group of doctors last week in Boston. It's not just the MDs but a society as a whole that has come to rely on a pill to fix every problem. People generally know our diets are poor and exercise nearly nonexistent for many people. Report after report has shown that increased mental and physical exercise combined with cleaner, healthier nutrition would reduce risks for many major diseases (CVD, T2DM, obesity, cancer, AD) yet people would rather eat crap, sit on their rear ends and wait for doctors to give them a magic pill to fix everything.

I'm not saying doctors don't contribute to the problem. Clearly they do but the health care system has always reinforced treatment, not prevention, and until that changes, we will remain a pill-popping society.
