You mean the epidemic of people dying from heart attacks or strokes at 30 or the obesity in children is something to brag about ? The advancement in medicine is remarkable - the elimination of most infectious diseases, the ER capabilities, etc, but we are taking medicine too far. Medicine is brilliant at 'fixing' things, but now we have fixes for every possible unpleasant feeling in our bodies and that is taking it too far. I don't have the statistics now, but my guess is that most of the pills taken by people are taken to relieve symptoms (like headaches or fever) and they are usually totally unnecessary.
