Say a drug has a 1% chance to have an adverse affect.
There's 99 out of 100 people like you saying "it's ok!". But there's the thousands of people who are left screwed up.
What you think is completely irrelevant. It's a numbers game, not a personal anecdote game.
How would this comment read if you'd got your heart scanned and it wasn't ok?
- drawnwren 10y agoYou're right. However, the article's list of adverse affects are pretty laughable. You also just pulled numbers out of thin air. There are lots of anecdotes in this thread, and doctors seem pretty ok prescribing an FDA approved medication - so, aside from "it's being overprescribed" what is the downside?
- Zigurd 10y agoEither these drugs are somehow getting approved without monitoring provisions required, or 1% is much higher than the rate of negative side effects in reality.
