One more chunk blown out of the dam

... Here's ANOTHER report about how the drugs used to treat something are also increasing the risk of getting something far worse. The headline at the Los Angles Times reads, "Drugs for benign prostate tumors increase the risk of aggressive cancers, FDA says".

... It seems that the number of reports like this are becoming more common. The reality is that no drug maker can test for all possible outcomes given the small samples they examine prior to launching their products. that means that the users - those who pay for the product and take it - are actually little more than lab rats.

... The reference to a DAM is a visualization I use when I consider how the whole realm of drug use (the dam itself) is beginning to fall apart, piece by piece. I expect that it won't be too long before the whole thing bursts.
