>> It would behoove me to believe that Vivus is not clearly aware of this fact<< We are both talking about the same company right? :) Just think.. If its all air comming out of wilson's fart, VVUS trading at less than book value is a certaintiy.

Hey VLAD, I'm not inclined to think that the PCP is the answer. They generally try not to stick anything in the patient's urethra. Note the minimal use of catheterization for urine cultures even in women. There are enough urologists in the USA to keep Vivus chugging right along and we are used to showing patients how to put things in the urethra. Instruction is the key to ease of use! PCP's like PILLS. Ease of use (for the Doc). All IMHO Ed

Vlad... Certainly letting your salesforce go seems like a risky proposition and would indicate some sort of deal has taken place, however looking at possible produciton constraints with international sales booming, it may be that they see little repurcussions from that move.... It is very hard to speculate on this company..who knows...?/I think the only thing that we are sure about is that they are trying to make a profit this quarter and make the compnay more attractive....for whatever reason..
