This is a personal story about a recent interaction I had with the health care system and the pharmaceutical industry that caused me to reevaluate a lot of things.
The Friday before Thanksgiving, I realized I was sick. I had a bad cough, a sore throat, and my nose was totally stuffed-up. I was pretty miserable. I was like that for about a week, dosing up regularly on NyQuil and DayQuil. Things seemed to get a bit better—the sore throat calmed down and the stuffy feeling went away. But I was still coughing, so this Thursday, I went to the doctor. The doctor diagnosed bronchitis and prescribed an antibiotic.
