Before or after the turkey?

Another lying commercial from Bayer. I don't doubt that this man had a heart attack in his driveway on Thanksgiving Day. (Well, actually I do.) But I certainly doubt that his doctor put him on a Bayer aspirin regiment. An aspirin regimen, yes. But I doubt if he specified Bayer, which is costlier than generic aspirin. But then Bayer has a long history of deceptive advertising and—in recent years— the dangerous propaganda of suggesting that taking an aspirin during a heart attack can save your life. In all their new commercials the Dr. recommends Bayer by name, which seems incredibly unprofessional to me.
