“Side Effects” is at heart a cautionary tale about what happens when we rely too much on the judgment of others, when professional knowledge pales in the face of simple human understanding.   Loomer takes us on a whirlwind tour of therapists, nurses, and others, all of them ably embodied by a company of talented shape-shifters who play a succession of nurses, therapists, friends and family.
