If this Avastin was available on the free market, no prescription
or “titled” medical person needed in the loop, would folks pay for it?
I’ve often wondered why the arrogant medical profession needs to
place itself between people and cures.. other than to make bucks.
Very good point, with the caveat that not many drugs can be administered DIY.
I would suggest that one of the reasons prescription drugs are so expensive is the frequent unnecessary delays in approval by the FDA.
I thought it was interesting that they have a problem with 1% to 3% of patients ~ per infusion.
What that means is it slops out somehow and gets pumped into your muscle tissues.
This is always bad.
You can get the drug on the open market ~ all that happened here is that it was no longer qualified for automatic Medicare (or other government) payment. People with private insurance could get it.
ObamaKKKare provides that you won't "get it" when it takes over everything including private insurance plans.
What does the medical profession have to do with making it a prescription drug?
That would be the FDA that makes it hard for you to get what you want and what makes drug so expensive.
I am one of those arrogant medical professionals who helped to develop treatments for diseases and vaccines and who also happens to have MS.
If you are so smart. You dedicate your life to the development of cures and treatments, and then get back to me.
there's big money in drugs....who gets their drug out on the market, who doesn't and plenty of payoffs inbetween...
know any drug reps?....if you did, you'd know that they live the high life without the study, the anxiety, the long hours of actually being a doctor....
How can a profession be arrogant? You’re not thinking, yet again.
It’s non thinkers like you who scream for the all powerful, good hearted geniuses working in government bureaucracy to come save everyone from “arrogant” professions.
