I think we have a clear case of health practitioners pushing the concepts of: drugs looking for patients; normal and average is desirable; everyone, no matter how happy, can be brought down. I suspect, and hope, that the piece is entirely tongue in muzzle, and as such I think it is very good. However, I have had the same thought about some of our political candidates, only to find out that a 40% majority took them seriously. So now I'm worried.
