Homeopathy

Also this one anecdote - as support for the idea that we are being overmedicated - seems to suffer from a little confirmation bias.

The situation is that a doctor assesses a patient's drug regime and rather than keep it going as it is or encourage stronger drugs to be taken or even increase the type and amount of drugs - he reduces the amount - and by a quite impressive 75%.

And this is used as evidence (or at least an illustration) of how we are overmedicated.

Let's look at the opposite scenario.

The situation here is that a doctor assesses a patient's drug regime and rather than reducing the amount he either keeps it going as it is or encourages stronger drugs to be taken or even increases the type and amount of drugs to be used.

I suspect that this would also be seen as evidence for how we are overmedicated ?

What do you think?
