15. They're good at labeling a vague group of symptoms
Edited on Tue Apr-11-06 12:09 PM by sparosnare
and turning them into a chronic condition that may need to be treated for the rest of your life ($$$$ in drugs for years). I won't say medical professionals are in cahoots....but......

One of my favorite new medical conditions is "Restless Leg Syndrome". I'm not saying people don't suffer from this, but it's more a symptom of another medical condition than its own entity. Ropinarole, an antipsychotic, is the FDA-approved treatment for this condition (you've probably seen the commercials). An antipsychotic???
