Dear E
I am beginning to STRONGLY suspect that you are indeed a Urologist
also known as slasher : the same abbreviated progress notes in the chart;
very short leaving other Physicians in on the case sometimes wondering
if that indeed is all that went on in there for the half hour. So I will
tentatively grant you provisional surgical privileges. howver as to
complete pharmacologic privileges the Board asks that we supervise
your prescribing for a little bit longer to ensure that you demonstrate
towards drugs ( including Muse ) the same passion and interest that
you appear to display to the blade; fair enough. have you talked to
other colleagues in your area and what are their feelings about Muse;
do they think Viagra and Zona will fly?

Russsel D I haven't made my mind up yet ;I don't know; I am going to have
to moniter the situation a little bit longer ; need more proof. Anyway
Dale everybody agrees that the needle gives you better results than
Muse. Do you find your patienta are looking forward to their injections?
Do they know about Muse?

Vivus is a small company.50 reps is not a lot. The mistake they made I
suppose is not forecasting the huge demand of patients such as those
descibed by Edderd. On the other hand you can also say that managem-
ent was prudent in avoiding too high initial manufacturing and launching
expenses in case the product flopped and then they would similarly
have been lambasted by shareholders.

Edderd, hoe did you get involved with this thread and Vivus as
a stock? Just curious you don't have to answer.
