Gaining money from science "facts"



I don't know if this counts exactly but this is one of the many commercials put out there by attorney's trying to get money from people and I guess for people because of bad side effects from medications. It's not that I like these commercials, it's that I think they are interesting and funny because of a few reasons. First of all, how are you going to sue someone if your side effect was death?

But anyways, I happen to be on one of the birth controls very similar to the ones listed in this video and I don't see how attorney's like this ever have a valid case because these horrible side effects that are listed in the commercial are not only side effects that most doctors BETTER tell you about, but they are in all of the literature that comes with your prescription and in most cases even your pharmacist will tell you a little bit about them.

My point is, I think these attorney's are rip offs because how is someone going to get money when they knew all along the possible side effects. I have known ever since I've started taken it that I could one day get a blood clot all of a sudden and I take that risk because the chances aren't that great but if I did ever get one, I would have to say that I can't blame anyone else because I knew the possible side effects and I chose to keep taking the meds.

When companies release a drug that is proven to work way more often than it hurts anyone, and they release valid warnings of side effects, I just assume this clears them of any harm because it's not their choice to keep you taking the meds.

  1. Amber,
    You are absolutely right! These lawyers are only to get your money, stay in business, and keep themselves employed. Like you stated, we all have the necessary information either given to us, read to us, or spoken to us on those side affects and we are all adults able to take the risks if we so chose to do so.
    Thanks for sharing great work! Pat.

  2. It's interesting to see how many pills people really take in their life time, and how many side effects they could have possibly had. I like that you went out of the box and picked something that people use to take advantage of unsuspecting people.

  3. I'm amazed at how many attorneys are advertising wanting to assist people to sue companies that are producing these medications that cause the effects the attorneys want people to sue the companies for. Now all the pharmaceutical advertisements cover all the side affects their pills can cause. The lists of side affects are so long it seems you're better off with the symptoms you're trying to "cure" instead of possibly coming down with the long list of side affects.
