MedHead Nation
“I know the store is open 24 hours a day,” I said while dropping off a prescription, “but how long is the pharmacy open?” Why, 24 hours a day. Of course! The more I think about it the more that makes sense. We’re all on drugs, it’s just that some drugs are legal and some aren’t. Which says little about which ones are safer. That was among the messages delivered in the most recent edition of Writer’s Voice — an often worthwhile program that features books of social significance — which I caught a good bit of last night while trying to doze off. Even more distressing are the unscrupulous reasons why many medications are prescribed. If you want to learn more you can listen to the show. Or, and this I have not done, read the book. Now, excuse me, I have medication to pick up.

When I heard from CBS earlier this month that cholesterol drugs have now been recommended for children as young as eight years old, that took away any doubt in my mind that we are a medication nation.
