If they didn't, would it make it right?
We're fucked if the medical fields scientific method is:
get half ass info, check
prescribe drug, check
well the drug did not fix problem..... but didn't cause them to burn this mother down either, so I am okay with that.
Again I am not lumping the medical field into this category. I am just saying Rick's point isn't as far out in left field as it usually is.
