This ad really cuts to the horrible chase. Literally a few seconds of what CLL is, then "it may not work w/ everyone"... the rest of the sh*t medication ad - as usual - a long list of it's horrible side effects. It never mentions any benefits of this pill. What's the point of this ad except wasting our time? Even if I had leukemia, I'd question this crap commercial. ------------- |

"Serious bleeding" usually does cause the victim to become worm food.  ------------- http://www.ledmuseum.net/" rel="nofollow">  |

Except - and here's the thing that bugs me about all of these ads - in most if not all circumstances, YOUR DOCTOR(S) will decide what medications to prescribe. I can't for a minute believe that any doctor would decide to write a prescription for Imbruvica - or any other drug for that matter - simply because a patient saw a commercial. It just doesn't make any sense.

Yeah. I once asked my cardiologist if I should be on a prescription blood thinner. His reply: "Why? Would you like to be?" His way of saying no without actually saying no. |
