Take 3 drugs at random within your personal medical stash and read the side effects list please.
Come back and report on this funny experiment.
As someone who writes FDA submissions for his job, no. You don't know what the fuck you're talking about
Thank you! Jesus do we need some medical professionals in here :)
Yo anybody reading this: Life is a series of gambles. You make those gambles based on probabilities. It doesn't matter if you don't like gambling, you WILL have to do it anyways.
Every time you drive your car, or ride a bus, you have a 1 in X chances of being permanently disabled in an accident.
Every time you take a walk, you have a 1 in X chances of being murdered by a robber, like Batman's parents, or being swiped by a drunk driver that careens off the road.
Every time you take a bath, you have a 1 in X chances of slipping, hitting your head and bleeding out, or having permanent brain damage.
Every time you eat lettuce, or a hundred other things, you have a 1 in X chances of dying of salmonella.
Every time you shake someone's hand, you have a 1 in X chances of dying of antibiotic-resistant germs
Every time you have unprotected sex, potentially fatal STDs.
Every time you get bitten by a tick, you have a chance of becoming allergic to meat, and possibly dying of anaphylaxis as a result.
Water park? Brain eating amoeba.
Camping? Bear or lightning.
Sitting at home? Burning to death. Asphyxia. rape/murder.
Petting a dog? Amputated arm as a result of antibiotic-resistant flesh eating bacteria. Or rabies.
The list is endless but I think you get my point. The only thing you CAN do, is
make the best bets, based on your (likely flawed)
understanding of the odds and then roll the dice. You are not allowed not to play. Medicine side effects are not an exception.
This is why I keep telling people it's extremely important to take probabilities, statistics and stochastic courses. Your life LITERALLY depends on it.
This is why i am not scared of terrorist attacks. This is why I leave my door unlocked for 60 seconds when I go throw the garbage. This is why I am not afraid of flying, or of immigrants.
My life is built around statistics and odds.
