"That's hardly a fair characterization. Pharma companies and docs are providing drugs that help improve people's lives, and then when those people abuse the drugs you blame the company itself. This is no different from blaming "Big Tobacco" for smokers' illnesses."

I have no idea why you dragged in tobacco companies. Atleast those companies are FORCED to be honest and state what will most likely happen when you smoke and NOT to start. "Traditional" doctors if you are lucky MAY tell you side effects on what to expect but they NEVER tell you NOT to take them or what will happen to your liver and kidneys AFTER you have taken them for a prolonged period of time. "Traditional" doctors also despise you knowing that they ONLY SUPRESS symptoms which of coursecreates more problems.

First of all, that simply isn't true.

Even if it was true, ultimately it's your responsibility to either ask your doctor or read for yourself what the side effects are. Whatever happened to personal responsibility?
