I suspect we are more ovine than we realize; I've seen a staggering increase in the last several years of clinical practice (as a psychologist) of fairly physically healthy adult patients taking an average of not just one or two medications but more like five or six. Are people really suddenly that much sicker? Nah. It's just the inexorable erosion of Big Pharma Machine's advertising/doctor-buying on our collective reasoning abilities. They prey on normal, understandable fears of illness and death and I'm afraid have fairly successfully hypnotized the American public into thinking "Oh Lord, I'm gon' die!" unless we ingest yet another miracle pill or slap on a patch or inhale some crap.
