Here is something worse to think about.
Right now there are critical drug shortages in every hospital in the US.
Common drugs like antiemetics, morphine, beta blockers, and chemotherapy drugs are missing from pharmacy inventories. Once the drug goes generic, the pharm companies don't make big prophets and they just stop manufacturing them.
It is criminal. - Marc D
Ugh. Horrible. I read something a while back about a drug for a cancer common in children was in a shortage for reasons similar to what you describe. That is just wrong.

I can see it now, "FE FI FO FUM, PREPARE FOR THE DAY THE LORD IS COME!"
I'll tell you what bugs me too though, and was kinda the spur for my whole post that got this convo going....the pharm commercials. "Ask your doctor if blowitoutyourassix is right for you!"
Don't push that crap on people. I'm confident that if I need medecine, my care provider will shoot straight with me. I don't need a 1 minute spot on TV telling me to go get some expensive dope for my snotty nose.
That stuff there is about preying on people's fears and insecurities to drive up your profit margins. Pisses me off. - Lexington Flyer
Holy Crap.... I just saw the Mario Lemieux statue, what an absolute hunk of poop.
Why would the statue include two absolute stiffs in Rich Pilon, and Jeff Norton when celebrating Mario? It wasn't even a historic play, it was a mid-season game against the Islanders in 1988.
I wish. My wife isn't feeling well and I'm dropping off M4 at his grandmother's for the weekend, as he's off tomorrow from school. Mom-in-law is going to the game alone.
