You wonder about the sophistication of a journalist when he uses the words "couldn't get it up at all." That is fine for the threads, but somebody trying to give an objective view on such an issue would probably (if he was slightly intelligent) use different language. I am curious about some of the negative stories coming out of the meeting. I would like to hear from some medical experts, rather than a quack journalist, some of the issues the med. world is having with MUSE. If anyone has any insights, feel free to share them. Hey, I am not much of a conspiracy guy, but how'd you like the timing on that release. Coincidence that it came out the same day as some positive PR, I think not. A nice attempt anyway at some informative, positive PR by the company, (when is the last time we've seen that.) Colby IR took of the week of this medical conference. I hope they are attending, because of they are not, I think I am going to be sick.

Tim, That article was my worst nightmare. It clearly makes the point that muse sucks. The VA results were a disaster. This explains the low refill rate we have all witnessed for the last year. Does this dam product really work or is it a smoke screen? I just read Vivus announced that it expects a larger than expected 2 Q loss. What next? I'm going to try this product on myself. I'm tired of all this BS, he said, she said. Is their a doctor who can write me a script? RT
