I partly agreed. I think that prescription drugs are dangerous enough that you should be required to sign a statement indicating you understand the stupidity of prescribing your own medication before you obtain a small amount of the medication (2-3 days maybe).
If you survive, you can come back, sign again, and get a little more.
Sure, it’s a little bit nanny-state, but it DOES allow you do to what you want, and makes certain you understand the consequences.
I do think it’s a little silly that there are some medications you can get in other countries that you can’t get here because FDA isn’t finished testing, and we let people DIE of their illnesses because we are afraid we don’t know the side effects of the drugs.
Talk about your Nanny State! I know what a tumor looks like. My MIL has one in her lung. Who is the state to tell me I can’t remove it?
