Dale,Frostman,Re: single dose Vivus issue: Memo:Stop beating a dead horse.
Explain: Vivus probably sent the memo to the drugstores to dispense one at a time to help patient finances;( at least Vivus says so.And yes Frosty that is a good and humane idea. But, but, THIS IS AMERICA GUYS!!!!! WAKE UP!!! Pharmacists are in in this to make a buck.THEY WILL SELL A HUNDRED VIVUS DOSES ( even if you only used one and threw the rest out ) AS LONG AS MOST PEOPLE DON'T COMPLAIN, and my guess is most don't!!!!So there it is .I believe, that pharmacists believe, that they are not a health Banc to bail out patient's finances.A lot of pharmacists are getting squeezed left and right as it is from Managed Care etc. So,so, they will sell AS MUCH VIVUS AS THE MARKET WILL BEAR, AT THE HIGHEST MARK UP AS POSSIBLE. This is Business 101, plain and simple.
[ This by the way explains why Soros and Vinick got in it: two good old business sniffing dogs:they immediately siffed a good deal!! Kudos to them!! Lets all in this thread raise a glass of good cheer for our two new ?friends?.
(PS I really feel sorry for the patients though and support any ideas that would help their financing of their Vivus doses,all kidding aside ). |
