Climate change isn’t just happening in the Arctic Circle and Antarctica where more ice is melting year after year. Its impact is being felt right here at home, and it’s posing a threat to the health of millions of Americans, say doctors representing 11 top U.S. medical societies. They are joining forces in Washington, D.C., today to speak out about the health risks posed by climate change.

Prescription drug mix caused me to have a thalamic stroke.

Doctor was so powerful in Manhattan that he was cleared of ANY wrongdoing.

Finally retired last year when he sent someone to the hospital with his scripts and she almost died.

So doctors are now expected to become “global warming” hoax and scam artists? Nice.

A person's health is affected by differences in the global mean temperature that only exists in databases with massaged numbers of ground based observations--as opposed to satellite data ? Ok, well the middle age's theories about draining the blood with the "bad humors" may have been completely wrong, but at least made some logical sense.

Quack! Quack! Quack!

Prescription drug mix caused me to have a thalamic stroke.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A couple years back, my brother called my wife to inform her that the pharmacy that we and he use, had given him 3 prescriptions of hers by mistake.

Same last name ya know. no big deal, they were close but no cigar.

My son is in some college class where he “learned” that Blacks in America are in poorer health than whites due to stress......caused by racism! (My Conservative son went off on an epic rant to me). So I guess this PROVES that global warming is racist. Hmm - I would think seeing as there are a lot of blacks in the hot places of the world, global warming will be the big equalizer. All the fragile white people will wither away from the heat and the blacks will move on in.

lol. If I get enough people we could take small shifts.

Happened 10 years ago, let go of the hate about 2 years ago.

It pops up every now and then but not often.

What’s the point?

Besides, after 2 police warnings I decided to leave him alone :)

That’s horrific. The ramifications could have been really bad, depending on the meds.

I assume everyone looks at the bottle before taking the pills, but assuming is a dangerous thing and i you only have one bottle coming, you might not look.

Why would someone think they got the wrong bottle?

You know, pharmacies are suppose to Protect You from bad script combinations.

Not cause more trouble.

Most of the “health issues” are mental ones from hearing and believing that we are all doomed....

Like the AMA? Riiiiiiight.

Medical associations are notorious for saying something is dangerous, then years later reversing it; for pushing drugs when other remedies are available; for pushing expensive drugs when low cost is fine (like Nystatin after antibiotics); for positions based on politics, not medicine.

A lot of doctors disagree with their associations, just as many pubic school teachers disagree with their NEA.
