    I used to watch this guy, but I saw one of his videos that really pissed me off.

    It was about a woman who was wrongly prescribed lamictal and ended up with severe burns all over her body. The doctor prescribed too high a dose and increased the dose too fast. The pharmacist didn’t catch this, which is basically the one thing a pharmacist is supposed to do besides count pills.

    Anyway the video talks about her lawsuit, which she lost. This guy did everything he could to defend the pharmacist, essentially calling the expert witness hired by the victim a scam artist lying for money. This is despite him not seeing the records, he just read the publically available court documents.

    Felt very much like a blue wall situation.

      Serious Skin Rashes (Boxed Warning): Lamictal can cause severe, potentially life-threatening skin rashes, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis. The risk is higher in children, with high starting doses, or if taken with valproate (Depakote). Seek immediate medical attention if you develop a rash, blistering, peeling skin, or painful sores.
