6. Big Pharma needs to work on not killing people...
...before they delve into bells-and-whistles technology.

How many widely used drugs have been recalled or revealed to cause
death or side-effects that are worse than the original ailment for
which the drug is prescribed? Too many.

Television ads for drugs are laughable. The narrator's long list
of "possible side effects" reads like a horror show--while beautiful
music plays and beautiful beach scenes are shown. It is surreal!

If someone wants to throw me a life preserver--I'd prefer that the
life preserver not sink me to the bottom of the ocean--and I really
don't care if that life preserver has shiny objects on it either.

Oh this industry, it just slays me. They've got our corrupt
politicians in their pockets and, as a consequence, their folly is at
times so over the top.
