Drug commercials; You'd think if I had fubegartelitus

as a result of taking zongazifrelartin for my nonifactus perfaluticacious, and was not allergic to greepalonin, my doctor would know about this drug well before I heard of it.

Gee thanks for looking out for me like that, I might have made a horrible mistake if you hadn't mentioned it.

I was keeping a list of drugs to ask my doctor about, as directed by the teevee but you have raised some new concerns for me. Like, what are the possible side affects of zongazifrelartin?
