I think a lot of this behaviour can be attributed to how the US treats sick leave - unpaid.

However, the quality and quantity of medication ads in the US has truly amazed me when I visited. I wouldn't want to be a hypochondriac over the big pond, because the TV ads were so suggestive.

Today I was walking around SF and saw a billboard for a medication, and it didn't say anywhere what the medication was for. Drug advertising in the US is simply baffling to me, and I'm American, even.
