Pharmy

pharmatheology

An unquestioning faith in commercially-manufactured, doctor-prescribed and psychologically-addictive medication as the answer to every perceived or imagined problem.

He could not live without his many pills every day. One allowed him to sleep, another quelled his anxiety, a third lifted his depression, others liberated or inhibited his bodily functions, lowered his cholesterol, regulated his heartbeat, soothed his aches, sharpened his vision, slowed his cognitive decline, boosted his testosterone, lowered his blood pressure, increased his immunity, banished unwelcome thoughts, made him feel normal. They interacted to grant him life - so he had been instructed by those selling them, and so he faithfully accepted, a devout disciple of pharmatheology.

Big Pharma

Large pharmaceutical companies who pour more money into advertising, marketing, and political lobbying than they do into research, development, production, and distribution of medication. They also extort patients who need medicine for life-saving purposes into paying huge sums of money at an outrageous markup.

Big Pharma increased the price of Epipens to over a thousand dollars, but they cost only two bucks to make.

pharmamentarium

All the pharmaceuticals that can be brought to bear against a particular illness/malady.

"I was hot as fuck, shivering cold and coughing up fluffy green shapes that floated angrily in toilet water. My face smelled like blood on the inside. My closed eyes could clearly hear the pounding hammer in my brain. It was time to bring out the pharmamentarium and get my coma on..."
