Nirvana's right in that we're a nation of junkies, looking for instant relief for every itch, real or imagined. Gladly provided by Big Pharma, a pill to treat, but they hope not cure, that itch, and gladly profiting from the placebo effect.
Doctors try to pick the right pill because patients demand the miracles promised on the TV every 30 seconds.

But that's only part of "Modern Medicine", and quickly forgotten when you hit a pole at 60mph, catch you shirt sleeve in the combine, or your arm goes numb and you can't breath.

Living healthier always makes sense, and nature provides a lot of help with little itches, although aspirin is a lot more convenient than chewing that Willow branch. After all, look how well it worked for the Indians.
