On fast food... know that just because it's called "natural," it doesn't have to actually be "natural." Take Wendy's "Natural Cut Fries," for instance... apparently the fries' CUT is "natural," not the fries themselves...
On health care... know that one in three hospitalized patients experiences an error in treatment in the U.S. (I know, that is a REALLY high percentage!) If & when you or a loved one goes to the hospital, make sure you either are prepared to be an advocate or have an advocate who is committed to cross-checking orders, prescriptions, meds, and care options! If you know you'll be headed to the hospital, research as much as you can about your condition, procedure, treatment options, and names of health practitioners whose opinions you especially trust. A place with so many shift changes and overlapping areas of responsibility is bound to be prone to error!

What we say in our household is... "Cyanide is "natural" too." They can use that word to describe a lot of things, not necessarily good!
All too true, Ju... all too true.
