Miracles of Modern Medicine #9582899 "The Upper Crust"

Isn't it funny (not) that doctors prescribe drugs that INCREASE the problem you have? 

One of the side effects of drugs that can slow down cancer, is that it can CAUSE cancer. A drug that treats psoriasis can INCREASE the problem. 

And just for fun, how about an immune-suppressant drug (such as Remicade or Humira) which can increase cancer risk in somebody with psoriasis, or create psoriasis in somebody who has cancer! 

Oh, LOOK:

Oh, it gets MUCH more disgusting than that. 

But that's "modern medicine" for you.  Big Pharma is quick to say that herbal remedies are ridiculous (hmm, isn't aspirin just tree bark?). Many "health store" items, such as St. John's Wort aren't even tested by the FDA for effectiveness OR risk. 

And so the patient must navigate a tricky course of kill or cure products that include approved drugs that can have a variety of insane side effects that can be worse than the disease.
