It's all to do with SID- supply induced demand- or should it be demand induced supply.

Can't help thinking that a what a lot of obs is stating is correct- people do sometimes want to opt for a magic pill to cure their ails, when perhaps taking some responsibility themselves may actually prove more effective, and safer.

I'm not always sure where the line should be drawn- do we stop treating people for high blood pressure and diabetes, if they are unwilling to make lifestyle changes?

What about slimming pills?

Or effective heartburn medication for those of us who indulgein curry and beer?

Where does the line stop, and who should make that choice?
