Dr Bond, this guy "news" was already known, wasn't it?

I call the poor guy a Vivus user. Addict is not appropriate,especially that he is the kind of patient that will be a good part of Vivus future.

The 79 year old probably was not himself aware of the stroke. Anyway the heart problem, not the stroke kill him. The physician is the one to be careful the most. Patients are not good historians if the doctor is not. And probably the "stress test" and other indications to avoid the drug were all followed and still the patient did have the heart infarct. Final data will be known later.

I still think the Pfizer competition thread had the more weight in the drop. This patient event is clearly nothing to stop Muse use and the actual "news" was just another setback.
