A lot of kids truly in need have been helped by ritalin, but it's hugely over-prescribed. The prescriptions for ritalin is in the millions. If a kid is unruly, they jam a pill down their throat. Now, they've started giving kids Prozac.

I know...I hope you know I was kidding! It's absolutely hideous, what they are doing.

They report with glee that they have dramatically lowered antibiotic prescriptions, and if my experience is any indication...many of the denied patients actually need antibiotics.

Meanwhile, they are ramping up the psychotropic drugs.

If anyone needs mental evaluation, it is the medical establishment that is fostering this travesty.

Couple of years ago I lost a close relative. I was in the hospital room when they flatlined. I do what I have to do, walk out of the room and the doctor says, "Do you want a valium?'

"Uh, why?"

"You seem upset."

"Well yeah, pal. I'm supposed to be upset. It's what happens in these circumstances..." Actually, I didn't say that, but felt like it. I just said "No thanks."

It kinda hit me later that they're using drugs as the first choice rather than solving the problems.
