No kidding. I went to the doctor with sleeping problems one time and he suggested I look up a certain drug. He said I couldn't get a prescription for it and it was to be taken therapeutically (i.e. indefinitely) and at the normal dosage it would cost something like 50 bucks a month.

I went home and looked it up: a homeopathic panacea with only a single "study". Not double blind, not even single blind -- they literally just gave the drug to some participants and the self-reported symptoms "improved".

I'm still not sure whether the GP was just trolling me.
