Well the fact of the matter is that Big Pharma is something everyone should understand. Drugs today are not like they were 30 yrs ago. They cause considerable damage, and often this is not revealed to doctors, who blindly accept the lies Big Pharma provides. One has only to learn about price fixing, and deceptive practices easily found on the net. Google "Pfizer fines"
"Lilly fines" and just recently J & J.

Merck and Vioxx? 60 minutes aired memos from Merck showing how reps could avoid questions and the truth when asked by doctors!

These are conspiracies, real ones against consumers. They are enough to strike concern in many people's hearts.

Medical devices? Also a big problem.

Being careful is not being paranoid. But letting this consume you? That can get out of hand.
