Speaking as a GP, each pill my patients take have a reason for it, it's for condition "a" or condition "b" or condition "c", everything is justified. Blood pressure, stroke prevention, antihistamine. It's the same with all my patients, everything for its reason. But still I sometimes think, "what the hey!?!", when I open someone's chart and see he or she is on 15 different meds. At a certain critical mass, no matter how well justified every single item, you can't avoid the thought, "Surely, so many meds can't still be good?"
How many tons 1080 do we drop, everywhere, and...until 2050?
