why marketing confuses me

I'm sick, and most over-the-counter and prescription medications will make me sicker, so it doesn't come as much of a surprise to me when I see commercials urging people to join the lawsuits against Zyprexa and Bextra if they've developed certain conditions. Now, there are plenty of conditions for which drugs are very necessary, but I've learned what drug companies don't want me to: if you saw it advertised on tv, it'll kill you.
