    I follow this doctor on YouTube, in my opinion he talks a lot of common sense.  He trained in UK but is now a US doctor.  He is totally against the way drugs are pushed on patients and is a great believer in healthy lifestyles.

    In this video (nine minutes) he discusses a sketch on doctors by Bill Maher.

    Well worth the nine minutes to watch this video by Dr. Suneel Dhand and glad he's in the US now.  Really liked seeing Bill Maher touch on the over use of drugs and how the doctors are killing people because of the drug addiction and other means that unethical doctors are giving out these drugs like candy, such as with the sad cause of Mathew Perry's death.  There are thousands of drug overdoses in the US every month, not just the homeless.  Fentanyl has been the biggest drug to affect people.  I wasn't aware of Ketamine, until Mathew Perry's death.

    We hear too over here about the tragic effects of fentanyl.  One wonders how it is carrying on without, what appears, much Government intervention.

    That's the thing, government intervention not enough?  We have some states that have open air drug markets allowed (eg. Kensington Street, Philadelphia, Pa) and some states that have allowed drugs to be legal.  I think Oregon, after three failed years of allowing drugs to be legal is now halting that program.

    Politicians don't like to admit they got things wrong, often when not working they double down.

    Oh, so true!!  If political legislators or local government elected officials wouldn't try so hard to make bad policy stick, knowing how bad it is, because there ego's are too big to begin with, I think political decisions/policy would be more thought through.  Social media has turned so many people/politicians into spotlight monsters and that's all they think of is how to be in the relevant spotlight all of the time, whatever means it takes.
