Dear Neuro,
I disagree with your contention that narcolepsy is "not a life-threatening illness." True, it's not life-threatening for the narcoleptic, but how about the other drivers on the road. There's a big movement of people lobbying for restrictions on mentally-impaired drivers, similar to Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Also, check out Monday's lead story on the FDA in Investors Business Daily, re: conflicts of interest between FDA Advisory Committee Meetings, Drug Companies, Competitors and the FDA itself. Especially interesting was the behind scenes ambush of Duramed by American Home Products. I agree that there's no love lost between Frank Baldino and Paul Leber and I've commented frequently on the personality nuances at these meetings in other biotech co. posts. Now Leber's on notice. I think things will change and settle down once they appoint a new commissioner. The easiest thing for a government worker to do with a ruderless helm, is to do nothing. |
