6 million drug-related emergency room visits in 2009, 50% were attributed to adverse reactions to prescribed medications?
Of the nearly 4.6 million drug-related visits to emergency rooms in 2009, more than half were due to adverse reactions to prescription medications most of which were being taken exactly as prescribed. The fact of the matter is, as echoed by a study released by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA), it is a mistake to assume there's no risk in prescribed medicines! As Sayer Ji writes on GreenMedInfo.com: "The medicines themselves are often devoid of intrinsic value, being nothing more than rebranded and re-purposed chemicals, intended (though all too often failing) to be administered in sub-lethal concentrations. Indeed, many of these chemicals are too toxic to be legally released into the environment, and should never be administered intentionally to a human who is already sick. You need look no farther than a typical drug package insert to nd proof that the side e ects of most drugs far outnumber their purported bene cial e ects. These chemicals, in fact, are so highly leveraged against their true value (or lack thereof), that they can sell for as much as 500,000% percent from cost! Only medical/pharmaceutical and nancial institutions (e.g. Federal Reserve) are legally empowered to generate the illusion that they are creating something of value out of nothing of value, on this scale." Medical care is actually one of the leading causes of death, with medical errors, adverse drug reactions, and hospital-acquired infections killing an unacceptable number of Americans each and every day! Drug-related ER visits jumped by more than half between 2004 and 2008, stirring health o cials to look for ways to stop what has become a near-epidemic that often ends in death.
