I agree with the deal about lawsuits, but Brian, I was referring to contacting our law makers, our personal legislators, requesting prevention, i.e.; required warnings from physicians regarding the danger of repeated doses of antibiotics or steroids, and I have been subjected to them to the hilt, but would never even insult one of my doctors much less sue them (Yes, Jim, I did mention a class action suit in an earlier post to alert cluster buddies to the size of the mountain we must scale, and the need to protect future innocent victims of a doctor gone mad prescribing antibiotics and steroids without warning of all possible adverse side effects). Legislation could request information on the possible health problems associated with antibiotics, etc. My other sore spot is the word 'doctor'. Doctor was originally meant as a teacher, one would then assume our MD's would teach us the direction of better health, not more drugs. I hope this explanation makes people feel better, it certainly did me.
