Dr. Rick's Monthly Question

October 2000

Question:

Should you turn off the smoke alarm or put out the fire?

Answer:

When there's a fire, do firemen direct their hoses at the alarm or the fire? Taking drugs or medications to numb or cover-up symptoms is like directing a fire extinguisher at a smoke alarm instead of at the fire.
