I haven't seen this study but thought I would pass it on. According to a recent study published by the Journal of American Medical Association more than an average of 100,000 people are killed each year by adverse drug reactions to legally prescribed medicines. This put legally prescribed medicines among the leading causes of death in the U.S. This makes legally prescribed medicines the 3rd biggest killer in the U. S. I'm signing off today. Leaving this afternoon for Boise.
