Volunteer- I finally got around to reading the Newsweek article, and while I found it blatantly pro-Viagra, I don't consider it anti-VVUS. To people who don't grasp all the medical implications of systemic v local applications, a pill sounds a hundred times better than MUSE and a million times better than Caverject. That's just the way things are, and I'd give the public some time to digest all the new info that will be coming out in the ED field before I'd start assessing VVUS' place in the future of ED treatment. Any pill touted as the panacea of erectile dysfunction is doomed to disappoint a whole lot of users...and investors. < Some hapless 30 year-old is permanently impotent and was lucky to have survived after using a medieval torture therapy, otherwise known as MUSE. > As for this statement, which led me to believe there was libelous material about VVUS in Newsweek, I found no such implication in the article. While a picture of MUSE was shown just below the section that caused your confusion, the article implied it was a needle treatment that caused "Bill" to become impotent: "he had never had any problems in the sack. But he was tempted by a friend's injection medication."
