Pharmacist hints some Congress members have Alzheimer’s
NY Post ^ | October 11, 2017 | Ruth Brown

A pharmacist who fills all the scripts for Congress members says he’s given Alzheimer’s drugs to lawmakers — who may be running the country minus their marbles.

“At first it’s cool, and then you realize, I’m filling some drugs that are for some pretty serious health problems as well. And these are the people that are running the country,” Mike Kim told STAT News, reportedly citing diabetes and Alzheimer’s treatments.

“It makes you kind of sit back and say, ‘Wow, they’re making the highest laws of the land and they might not even remember what happened yesterday.’”

Kim owns Grubb’s Pharmacy, a 150-year-old DC drugstore that delivers as many as many as 100 prescriptions a day to Capitol Hill, the outlet reports.

His follow up (I bet he still gets fired):

“In a follow-up statement, Kim said his suggestion that members had Alzheimer’s or any other specific condition was meant as “hypothetical.”

“I was speaking very broadly about disease states that the general American population have and that it also applies to everyone including members of the U.S. House and Senate since they are also people just like you and I,” he said.

He added: “My pharmacy is in a very unique location on Capitol Hill and fortunate to have the opportunity to service the U.S. Capitol.”

Some of them have a far, far more serious problem than Alzheimer’s Disease (as bad as that is). The problem that a lot of them have is that they have an infection of Leftism, which alters and destroys the mind at least as well as Alzheimer’s.

Either condition (or both) might explain the Honorable Gentleman who was worried about the island of Guam capsizing, if we stationed too many troops there...

Plenty of Congress are just stupid, so it might be harder to guess than one might think.

Probably some obscure old folks in the House like Don Young or Sam Johnson. Too many senators act like it, so it’s impossible to tell.

Memories really bad, yes, but not nearly as bad as their ethics

How long before Grubb's goes out of business?

Or gets cited by the authorities for civil or criminal violations.

Still, there is something to admire about the guy.

If Harvey had groped him he wouldn't have kept silent.

The Capitol Building should be designated a national arboretum.

It’s full of potted plants.

Paddy Leahy doesn’t quite seem to know where he is and why he’s there most of the time. I understand there’s always an aide ready to catch him if he stumbles. Won’t even get into the fact most people can’t even understand his mumbling diatribes.

I’m shocked, shocked that some congresscritters have (or act as if they have) azhmrs.

Actually, that would be a substantial mental improvement for many.

I wonder how many PrEP regimens he’s dispensing to our congress poofters...my guess is that a lot of ceftriaxone, azithromycin, metronidazole, protease inhibitors and the like are dispensed like M&M’s at Halloween.

Does HIPAA cover a pharmacist speaking generically (so to speak)? He didnt name any person or give personally identifying information. There are 535 Congressthings and 100 Senators and thousands of staffers. It’s a small city unto itself, so I doubt anyone could (or in this case would) bring any kind of complain or charges. But they can stop using his shop. I honestly can’t imagine why he’d say anything like that.

I was thinking the same, in a broader aspect why would he answer any questions at all?. There may not be a total privilege here but talking to the press about his high profile clients will not do any good. The Doctors can easily use someplace else and cut him off.
