prescription thugs
« on: April 22, 2016, 05:24:56 AM »
Anyone else catch this on Netflix yet? It's from the same guy that made bigger, stronger, faster, and serves as a follow up/kinda sequel. Focuses a lot on his brother's death as well as his own dependency issues.

I didn't find it as good as bsf though, and a lot probably has to do with what he's been through since. I also feel like he pointed the finger at other factors instead of taking self responsibility.

Loved it!
Agreed, not as good as BSF, but still a quality doc!
Too short for my liking though. It was only about an hour and a bit long, he could've put more material in. But other than that, the movie was excellent.

Prescription drugs are a $1 trillion dollar/year industry.  

Notice how they NEVER cure anything, just treat symptoms.

Doctors get kickbacks for prescribing drugs and medical "treatments".  Cancer "treatments" brings in multiple billions per year.  They are archaic and toxic and only kill the patient in the end.

I've always admired and felt bad for his dad in both these. Seems like a very smart man and he had to deal with his first born being such a screw up. And now after this I'm glad he has Mark who looks like he's always had his shit together. Funny that it was the two out of shape brothers with the most issues.

Its funny how mark was "slow" as a kid and put into special ed classes, and now he's the most successful out of the 3 (well, 2 now :( )
I also feel bad for the dad. He seems to have worked and made an honest living to support the family, and gets a screw-up as his first born and a drug addict middle child.
