I leave the TV on during the day, mostly for the noise, but I like to hear some news too.<p>It&#x27;s been driving me crazy that they are CONSTANTLY advertising all sorts of drugs, constantly filling my ears with unimaginable signs and symptoms.<p>Is it just me? Is there anything that can be done about this?<p>Most of these drugs you wouldn&#x27;t need to know about unless you had a very serious and specific condition. In which case, your doctor should be the one to tell you about it, or at least a google search. But why do I have to hear about horrible diseases while I&#x27;m trying to de-stress? It&#x27;s insidious.
