Are you in PAIN?

A few weeks ago Ronni from over at "Time Goes By" made a post about all the annoying ads on TV about the elderly and their medical needs - pills for everything that ails them.

Well, here in Florida you should see ALL the ads directed at the elderly.



Here is just a sampling:

PAIN INSTITUTE - SUCCESSFULLY TREATING ARTHRITIS PAIN, BACK PAIN, HIP PAIN, SPINAL PAIN ETC. ETC.

HEARING CENTER - FREE Electronic Test

FREE Video Ear Inspection

FREE Hearing Aid Cleaning

DENTAL DREAM TEAM Implants, Aesthetics, and I.V. Sedation

FOOT CARE Peripheral Neuropathy

STOP Lower Back Pain and Sciatica NOW With Lasting Results

Eliminate Loose Dentures - Securely Anchor Your Dentures

ARE YOU IN PAIN? NEW PATIENTS SEEN SAME DAY

IMPLANTS A.M. DINNER P.M.

DENTURE REPAIRS - ADJUSTMENTS - RELINES WHILE YOU WAIT

OPTICAL SHOP - FREE LENSES WITH ANY FRAME PURCHASE

Believe it or not all the above ads appeared in the same issue of a daily newspaper. Not only that, I want you to know I didn't include all the health care ads that ran that day.

If I need a doctor down here I ask my friends for a referral. I suppose if you are new in town, you would take a chance and call a doctor who advertised.

One thing's for sure, if it weren't for those medical ads, car care and restaurant ads, the newspaper would not survive.
