Had this come in from Catherine Griffin:
“Hi Rich,
Did you see the tv programme “The Dr who gave up drugs”?.
If you didn’t you really should watch it on catch up.
It was basically about a Dr who believes that GPs are over prescribing drugs. He worked with a lady who had back & shoulder pain for 20 years and was taking a huge amount of painkillers , to prove that the tablets did not work he replaced her tablets with some placebos and got her to record the pain levels, it showed she didn’t need the tablets at all then he told her she needed ……….. You probably guessed it, exercise to strengthen her back & shoulder.
He visited her after some time & she didn’t even take painkillers for a headache. Made me think of my shoulder & how your exercise helped me become pain free. You could’ve written that programme.
Catherine”.
I still haven’t watched the programme, (I have just restarted prison break so I’m snowed under! ) but to hear that there is a GP questioning the use of drugs, I think it’s fantastic.
And not just because he is staying “exercise is good, medication is bad”.
But because it takes someone strong to come out and say what he’s said, there are legal implications, and lots of possible repercussions from colleagues and pharmaceutical companies.
As great as this is, it’s nothing new, especially for those who have followed me for a while, because Dr Mark Daniels, a local GP, and I had a radio show which pretty much gave advice along “drug free” lines and came to the exact same conclusions.
Which were what many of you suspected – GP’s are over prescribing drugs.
What can we do about it?
Some free advice: if you’re on medication, and have been taking it for more than 6 months, ask your GP for a full review to see if you still need to be taking them (all).
