DRUGS Vs DIEASES

When sick, maybe, Doctor is your best friend but don't over load with too many medicines, even though, you are insured.
Always ask or challenge the Doctor-friend who prescribe more than 2-3 drugs.
It is a good -Doctor's obligation to offer explanation for writing all the medicines and also convince you about his Diagnosis and offer you psychological support.
Even though out of the line, I learnt that more patients are perhaps dying due to over-drugging than by diseases themselves[just like more people , -suffer and die due to over-eating than malnutrition or starvation.
To conclude in lighter vein, if people could be 'Income-taxed' according to the girth/size of their tummy(Belly-button-level ), a number of disease and more number of drugs could be declared Out-caste !
