This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The goal is to make sure doctors, not advertising budgets, determine which medicines are prescribed, prevent medical overconsumption, and help keep health costs in check.

What a wild concept

Tldr; there is a fine line between neutrally writing about something that has a positive effect and positively writing about a thing that has a positive effect. Law requires to position news media as a neutral informer when it comes to prescription-only medication.
