    Ummmmm.
    Most obvious recommendation missing?
    To parallel-quote Surowiecki (http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2002/12/09/the-talking-cure), it is not enough to fix our failings, we just have to stop committing them.
    Why no proposals to stop misprescribing? Is it really possible we don’t know how to properly use these meds? Physicians just 20 years ago did; let’s ask them.
