OH, What A Surprise

Here is a comment from a (rare) thinking doctor from a medical poll regarding the removal of Avandia from the market.
Should the F.D.A. take Rosiglitazone off the market? Yes. Why? A drug is a drug, is a drug, is a drug. As a molecule foreign to the body, the body will fight it and reject it. This is what is called side effects. The question: Are the side effects worth the risk? The answer is: When it may cost your life, it is not worth it. The "Time Factor' built in this dilemma is just the "Clock ticking in a bomb" So open your eyes and your mind, look and find out a "good alternative". Decide, and be pleased with your decision.

This process should be used when considering any drug primarily because today's pharmaceuticals are so laden with side effects, and not just minor ones.

Bravo!
