Dr. Scott Fudges Gottlieb looks pretty but spins and diverts

he's with Food and Drugs and was on Wash. Journal this a.m. they have a new drug labeling system surfacing.

all that drug info that comes with prescriptions and that is printed so small only an ant could read. well, they are making the type bigger on the "most important facts" (note: the drug companies choose what is an important fact). other facts the drug companies would prefer you didn't read will still be so small only an ant can read it.

this change is supposed make life easier. pooie

as an example: two callers questions were spun and diverted

one was asking about medical maryjane being OKed. why not? Scott quickly didn't know anything and moved on.

the other was why a patient still had to pay for a full perscription if it is found to not agree with the patients body. the unused pills cannot be returned. why couldn't the patient by only a few pills to see if they get a bad reaction or not.

Scott's answer was that when he was doctoring he gave the patient the free small packets he gets for free from the drug companies. and he had no answer for what other patients could do.

he was a waste of time.
