		<description>In my experience, doctors are not capable of discussing side effects of a treatment simply because the doctors are ignorant.

When I was first diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, I took the meds which were prescribed.  Every time I swallowed (food, water, or even my own saliva) I got a cramp in my gut.   I talked to my doctor about what I was experiencing.   She told me that what I was experiencing "was not a known side effect."   So I asked her if she planned to report this side effect to the drug company.   She refused, then changed the subject.

Doctors are pushers for the drug companies.   Some may feel they are do-gooders out to help people, but even the best of them never think outside the program they were trained to adhere to by the drug companies.</description>
