i need help - candy dish metaphor

i wrote this in about five minutes. in my opinion it's super-freakin' ridiculous. but mark thought it worked best...

in the waiting room of every american doctor's office is a weathered stack of people magazine, a fish tank, and a dish of candies. if one day that dish was filled with antipsychotics, benzos, and anticonvulsants, i would be about as shocked as if brad and angelina suddenly climbed from my magazine and into the fish tank--besides breaking about a million laws, it would sever the traditional "present --> diagnose --> prescribe" formula that forms the backbone of medical practice. however, as a mental health practitioner, the candy-dish approach to psychiatry may sometimes seem more attractive than the hopeless trial of medication cocktails that is the routine for many patients. psyciatric research is chugging away at a more practical solution for the disconnect between diagnosis and treatment--new drugs are in the works (actually that's false, but something like that could go here)--but perhaps it is time that we rethink our methods of classifying patients.
