From Neil Bamforth at MadMikesAmerica:
A group of scientists, (it’s always a group of scientists isn’t it?), have discovered many Brits are not taking the medicine prescribed to them by their doctors. It didn’t sound like an awful lot of research actually went into reaching this conclusion if you ask me. A group of people supposedly taking various medications were tested and, it appears, one in three weren’t actually taking them.
After the result of said research, the number grew dramatically to almost everyone taking what they were supposed to take – probably on the grounds that they felt a bit guilty at being found out.
As another result of said research, the scientists have concluded that doctors, after prescribing medication to a patient, should regularly get them to provide a urine sample to prove they are actively taking their medication.
