 DRUG DEATHS EXCEED MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT DEATHS

According to the LA Times, drugs exceeded motor vehicle accidents as a cause of death in 2009, killing at least 37,485 people nationwide, according to preliminary data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

While most major causes of preventable death are declining, drugs are an exception. The death toll has doubled in the last decade, now claiming a life every 14 minutes. By contrast, traffic accidents have been dropping for decades because of huge investments in auto safety.

Again, I am not against the use of medications when they are absolutely necessary.  I am against the overprescribing, the misuse of abuse of medications.
