As an RN for 50 years (recently retired) I am an eye witness to the proliferation of pills, pills, pills. Patients began demanding antibiotics for nearly every illness, oral medications to fix everything from a cold, to anxiety, to every physical ailment imaginable. I spent my carreer in ER and Critical Care. Families would also demand drugs that they saw on TV. The culture changed from medical people ( doctors, nurses) offering drugs, vaccines, quick fix remedies rather than teaching patients the necessity of doing things that would promote a strong immune system, healthy food choices, exercise, hydration, weight loss, smoking cessation etc. Patients rarely were interested in the cause of their illness, or what THEY could do to improve their health. Bug Pharma has duped most people to think all they need is a pill, an injection and this makes rhem "healthy." Many patients take multiple medications, some dozens of meds!
