"Beware of Drug Sales" Cherry

In Cherry's "Beware of Drug Sales", she draws my attention to the point of her essay by giving examples of marketing techniques adopted by drug companies. She tells us these methods are used to help boost profits at the patients expse. She uses statistics to further her point and explains how her evidence can be applied to the everyday consumer. She states,"People are spending their hard-earned money on medicine they don't even need...", is backed by the notion that,"consumers around the globe are taking medicine for the disease called life". The facts and evidence she points out, I personally find appalling and will have to scrutinize for more subtleties in the next ad i see.
