LOL Pachyderm - WORD!  I agree with you. 
With bacterial infections back in the day, it was VERY important to take the appropriate antibiotic at the required time and the entire amount prescribed. If not, some of those "bugs" could survive - and grow into something worse. (i.e. amoxycillin for otitis media ear infections often recur if not fully dosed the first time).
Nowadays, I see people taking prescribed medications only until their symptoms are relieved. If that's the case, how should people on anti-depressants, etc. be treated?
How do these medications interact with other bodily functions? If contraindicated, how should these symptoms be treated? Again....how much is too much in order to feel, act, and look "well?"
Words back atcha!
