In reply to Professor at Med School Says Wean off All Meds, posted by Phillipa on October 2, 2005, at 19:06:31
Grrr. That makes me angry. Also, remember he is a PhD in biochem, NOT an MD. He has no clinical experience. Perhaps he knows a little more abt meds and the human body, but I suspect he is talking way out of his area of expertise. He might as well been a history prof.
In the end, only you can decide what is best for you. Meds are not a perfect cure-all, but as long as you are making an informed decision and are using them responsibly, then they are worth a try. In fact, I think most babblers would be willing to shave a few yrs off the end of their lives if they could feel better for the years that they have. (not even saying that meds will cause that, just for the sake of argument).
His comment was flip and insensitive. Ignore it.
Best,
EE
