FDA to fight misleading drug ads: Good luck!!

September 8, 2010 by Sri Leave a Comment

FDA is taking a tougher stance on misleading drug

Plavix ads (cont’d): Take me or die

September 8, 2010 by Sri Leave a Comment

Yesterday, I saw a TV ad (a repeat, I think) for Plavix – the drug that is supposed to keep you from getting that “big” one , as Sanford (Sanford and Son vintage) might say. Here the doctor (dresses like one anyway) writes PLAVIX (all caps) on a prescription pad. Made me wonder: Which accredited medical school did he graduate from?. In another (or the same) ad, a gurnney keeps following the guy in the ad. Now that is funny – a “heart attack” watch gurney.

Judge Keeps Ban on Stem Cell Funds

I just can’t believe that in the 21st century we are talking as we are living in the 1500’s. Remember Gallileo.
Embryos are destroyed routinely in in-vitro fetilization clinics. Just imagine: Thanks to laws enacted by religious zealots, judges are jumping into the frey.

Obama Offers a Transit Plan to Create Jobs

I did a simple calculation: $50 Billion/20 Million American $2500.00/American. WoW! And that is before “leakage” for red tape and fraud. Mr President, why so little? We are wasting more than $50 billion a month in Iraq and Afghanistan, aren’t we?

Briefly, I am a pharmaceutical scientist, university professor (retired), and a patent attorney. I have also tutored 4th-11th graders in math. My CV (see link below) will tell you more about me. I created this website mostly for educational and informational purposes (please visit the publication section). Hopefully, you will find these writings useful. And, yes, if somebody can use my “skill sets”, as Liam Neeson of the “Taken” movies’ fame might say, that will be wonderful too! I can’t wait for his next movie! Really.
