If we ever notice, every time we bring a pile of medicines home, we bring along a long list of possible side effects of those medicines. But keeping the treatment to our ailments in mind, we decide against the side-effects and go on taking the risk every time we swallow those pills to get cured.
Quite interestingly, I ran across a blog where some legal drugs were listed with some of the most strange and scary side effects that led to think that if I ever read those side-effects on any medicine that I am taking, I would prefer living the ailment instead of risking myself with those kind of severe side-effects.
