This article is a strange one. First, there is a drug that is suppossed to help diabetes, but induces heartattacks. Then the FDA, who America trusts to keep the dangerous stuff off the shelf. Then the government has problems ensuring the FDA does its job. It seems like there are to many things working that wouldn't let Avandia even get to the shelf. I guess people should really read the side effects part of thr bottle. I like when Dr. Weiss said that if you institue a warning, people freak out. I think that there are just to many drugs out there in the first place. Of course there are some that are going to worse than others. I once had to change medication three times for ear problems. I learned I didn't even need them!
