There was a lunchtime segment on CNN where a couple of docs talked about steroids. Nothing new and they were taking real time email questions. When they got to the question as to whether steroids if prescribed and monitored by physicians would reduce the risk, they both dodged the question. Interesting.
Then while the Q & A session was going on, CNN ran a video of a guy doing an IV injection of some street drug suggesting that was the way injectable steroids are used. Talk about irresponsible journalism, the director/producer of that segment should be fired for running that video. One one hand they're crowing away about the increase in steroid use by teenagers and on the other they show someone mainlining during a steroid related news story. I really hope some teenager doesn't think this is how IM steroids are administered and if they should and die from it, I hope their parents sue the shit out of CNN for conveying misleading and dangerous information.
……and I wonder why I have little sympathy for media types that get their asses blown off in Afghanistan.
