And often lying about it.

So much for trusting them because they're the "professionals."

So the ones I call psychobabbling pill pushers have been gettign $500 for every person they put on the red pill.

In a world of highly restricted drugs, salesmen give out suitcases of unregulated free samples.

Motto of the drug world, "The first one is always free."

Before uppers and downers were regulated, about a third of the country had scripts. Vodka and downers killed many a housewife.

Truckers drove for days on speed. Truckers are now made to sleep and can only drive ten hours a day.

Time to piss test the whole profession, and not let the same person put someone on drugs. They will put children on drugs not approved for children, if the money is right.

It's kind of funny because I was just talking to my brother about his psychiatrist. My brother says his psychiatrist doesn't ask him about anything. My brother just sits down and is asked a few token questions and he's written a prescription and shown the door within just a few minutes.

I told him that the doctor is only concerned about writing enough prescriptions in order to qualify for kickbacks from the drug industry.

just look at us. Everything is backwards. Everything is upside down. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the major media destroys information and religion destroys spirituality - Michael Ellner

they just gettn paid. The way they look at it (cuz Omar's got seance'n ability when it comes to docs) you messed up anyways - aint nothn out there that they know of that can cure ur bouncn-off-the-walls-foamn-out-the-mouth behind, so they mightaswell get paid ya know. Get u some placebo - real sugar water stuff - sweeten out ur disposition. And hey if the side'fects kick in, u just march yo behind back for more, different bottle, same effects - the junkies need their pills and the suits get their fills, real business like.

Aint no ancient scripture needed for no MD license - u just do what u can and get ahead while u at it. and Life aint ever been better.
