200,000 Americans killed each year by Prescription medicines/drugs

DT-waw · Apr 25, 2011

bill gates would say - its good!
200,000 people less to produce greenhouse gases and global warming!

but no one cares what bill gates says. is his products cheaper and better looking than year ago?
what dress paris hilton had this time? this is what the sheeple care about.

add a million or two killed by Aids drugs.
add 10-90 million killed by cancer chemotherapy.

but its not the evil drug companies. its you - the patient who is stupid enough to believe and buy deadly stuff from corrupted m'f'ckers in white clothes and MD letters attached to their names

the modern medicine is ALL about MONEY.
its a great money making machine.

the more diseases in the society- the more sales, more profits.

its in the vital big pharma interest to make your health weaker and weaker. so it can sell you more sh't.

you know, healthy people are not really good for the economy.

what if the avg lifespan = 95 years? how the pensions house of cards could survive?

I think world medicines/drugs industry must be worth $1.4 Trillion every year.

Quote from bearice:

When law authoritries investigate they will find out that mental hospital doctors are responsible for majority of Prescription drugs related deaths worldwide. Mental hospital doctors are useless people and they survive on money earned for poor and weak people sufferings. The mental drugs/medcines affect the minds of weak people and they cannot fight back and they are destroyed further mentally.

Nobody is this world is mad. Everybody thinks different.

Mental doctors will starve to death if they do not suffer weak people because these useless mental doctors do not have any knowledge and talent to earn money.

Have you ever heard of mad animals being admitted to mental hospital. If people think a animal has gone mad and dangerous then the animal is shot dead/killed.

If somebody thinks a person is seriously mad or retarded then shoot/kill this mad person and relief him/her of their misery. Why imprison them in a hospital for many years?

The reason is people are imprisoned for years is because it is more profitable to do so. Staff needs to get hired, drugs are administerd, federal and state money is given to the location on a per bed basis. It is just about the bottom line. You can not extract money from the system if a person is deceased. There are whole subindustries tied into the prescription medication bussiness. It is just about the money and the most profitable method.

Useless mental hospitals run on donations and government grants. Complete waste of money. Shut down all worldwide mental hospitals.

I never suggested that ALL these deaths are because of these points, only that beatrice is claiming that it's all the doctors faults without taking into account the fact that there is a trend in prescription abuse by patients.

Quote from the1:

You can't cherry pick one article and claim you did some research on the topic. The Pharmaceutical Industry has its strengths and its weaknesses, as any industry does, with the primary one being the corruption that exists at the FDA. I have extensively researched this issue and wrote an 16 page paper (which was partially published in the local newspaper) on it and the OP, whether he researched the issue or not, is right on point!

With drug companies reporting strong overall sales (including a 5.1 percent increase in U.S. sales in 2009 to $300 Billion for 3.9 billion individual retail prescriptions)

I have also read that Americans take about 80% of psycotic drugs in the world. Are americans weak? hypochondriacs?

Americans take 80 percent of all prescription painkillers taken in the world.

Quote from peilthetraveler:

The death rate in the USA is 2.5 million per year from all causes, so 200k seems a bit high. Thats almost 10% of all deaths in the US.

What would be worldwide human deaths from Prescription drugs/medicines?

USA is rich and has the best technology.
