The body is complex and pretty much every time we attempt to "fix" something we also cause problems. But, as a doctor, we understand the pros and cons, we warn the patient that there could be long-term effects, and when it isn't an emergency we give them the option to take it or not. The healthcare system is also complex, and politicians continue to address the symptoms of our failing market, but they keep missing the real problems – they also seem to be causing more problems than the problems they are attempting to solve. They should have to provide warnings.
