Sick?

As there aren't enough genuine things to make you ill, pharmaceutical firms are now inventing diseases. Not to make us all well and happy, but to make more money for themselves.
Drug firms 'inventing diseases'

Pharmaceutical firms are inventing diseases to sell more drugs, researchers have warned.
Disease-mongering promotes non-existent diseases and exaggerates mild problems to boost profits, the Public Library of Science Medicine reported.

Researchers at Newcastle University in Australia said firms were putting healthy people at risk by medicalising conditions such as menopause.
Capitalism. Don't ya love it!!

Actually I think I might have "Restless legs" - every time I read a story like this one I want to run over and give someone a right good kicking.
