Beyond that, the doctors who prescribe these drugs are the ones who really have to step in to ensure the safety of their patients.>EXACTLY! Its like if you have an electrical problem say,in your house,you call in an electrician.You expect them to do their job safely,because it could be dangerous or lethal if it isnt.They get payd for their electrical expertise,Just like psychiatrists do.If the electrician causes a fire,they are liable for that,because they didnt do the job properly.People are warned about the dangers of electricity just as patients are warned of the dangers of these medications,but it is up to the experts to do their job-thoroughly!Just as an electrician or what have you.Man,I cant believe half of what goes on.
