    It is all about having a positive mental attitude. Pressure? Pressure builds diamonds. Problems? Whaaa, we all do. Not enough money? Steal from the plate! What depresses me is hearing these whiners complain.

    Under single payer there would be the immediate savings of all the advertising the drug companies do because docs would be prescribing drugs from a protocol, not the bare back of the hot babe pharmacy rep.

    Obama has blown it. His goal was to save the healthcare system from bankruptcy. Can’t do that without single payer. “Winning” the government option is only a potential step down the slippery slope to get to what he know he needs.

    Bailout and Stimulus was pork laden not creating jobs==fail.

    Leaving troops in Iraq + adding them to Afghanistan==another fail.

    Other than changing the cowboy foreign relations, what has Obama really accomplished? Not even the banks have securely missed causing a depression as yet.

    Unfortunately, I think you are on the money.

    I’m really hoping he gets the guts to do what’s right for health care reform, but right now the signs are not good at all.

    Once again I find myself completely in agreement with Bobbo.

    Which makes me want a Cymbalta.

    Commenting on the topic at hand though: Holy crap is this the sleaziest advertisement ever! “You’re such a horrible person for being depressed! Your children hate you! Your DOG hates you! Here, have our medicine, it’ll be all better and your dog will love you again!”

    Bobbo – When I was in practice, the most beautiful people used to come to push drugs at me. Both sexes. (You never know…) These people would only push a couple of drugs each. And they had seemingly memorized every damned thing ever said about those one or two drugs.

    Guilherme – was there a purpose to this? Just filling space were we? JCD got you on a quota system? gotta post gotta post gotta post gotta post…

    #9–Animby==well thats the biggest tease I have read in a long time. Being informed of new drugs available is a good thing. Did you ever substitute the new expensive drug over the old cheap drugs because there was no evidence they wouldn’t be better for your patients? Did you???? DID YOU!!!!

    Did your free meals ever include breakfast? DID THEY??????

    Ha, ha. I sense you are now a traveling clinic doc? No need to answer==just minimal info fill in the blocks puzzle.

    Better stock up if you’re in the Stock Market.

    Better stock up if you have faith in Obama or Obamacare.

    Better stock up if you voted for McCain too.

    Why don’t they just smoke a joint? People have been smoking pot for thousands of years to treat depression.

    Or so I’ve heard.

    Yes, very interesting. Taking this drug may cause worse side effects than the symptoms it claims to alleviate, and you would never know unless people had pushed to make it a requirement to state this on the ad.

    If you refer to the vast majority of school shootings you will find that psychotropic drug use was implicated (or a recent and even more dangerous lapse in use).

    That is interesting if you give a fuck about anyone but yourself (so maybe this is not the best forum).

    I find it humorous, that MORE of us readers know MORE about most the subjects then what IS TOLD to our representatives and president.
    So, what can the problem BE??
    Hmm..
    In the OLD days, congress and representatives WERNT PAID SALARY..
    They were paid Travel allowance and room and board while in session. THEN they went home to THEIR OTHER JOB or the farm.
    The country KEEPS US BUSY, so that we dont have time to question whats happening. AND who is Screwing WHOM..
    Wages used to require 1 person to work to make a good living..NOW its 2 and you still suffer.
    Farmers USED to be able to sell their crops and make a living..NOW you cant have a family farm. The corps will EAT YOU, with PRE-PAID crops, already BOUGHT, so that the SELF SUFFICIENT farmer sells at the lowest price.

    Controls that were THERE, are gone, why? because the ONLY people talking to our REPS, is the CORPS.
    Commercialism is a wonderful thing, IF’.
    you dont buy out the competition.
    DONT make BUDDIES with the other 2-4 that are competition.
    HAVE products made in other nations, bring them to the USA, and sell them OVER PRICED.
    Over priced goods, Price matching?? LAUGH. They get the maker to change 1 number, or 1 knob, and its a TOTALLY new/different model JUST FOR THAT company.

    How RICH is RICH?
    When you can change clothes EACH day and NEVER wear a USED/WASHED set again.
    When, insted of WASHING the car, you buy a NEW ONE.
    When your children NEVER mention their Allowance. otherwise they would be MUGGED.
    When you dont need to count the change in your pocket/bank/wallet or call the bank to see how much is LEFT..
    you dont know or CARE about the prices you GET’ from the grocery store.
    When you can afford the NATURAL fibers in cloths and have never WORN synthetics.

    When is ENOUGH money, ENOUGH?

    The first comment is just bogus. Eight years of Bush, the Inferior and just now we’re sad? Cracker, please.

    Ask Mike Wallace or Terry Bradshaw if depression is real.

    All drugs have side effects.

    Now you know.
