He seems the polar opposite of nice Oh, hey, remember "Pharma Bro" Martin Shkreli, the amoral bucket of pigs' spleens who bought a small pharmaceutical company so he could raise the price of its chief product, a medication used to treat toxoplasmosis, from $13.50 a pill to $750.00, and then everyone on the internet hated him? Yeah, that douche.
The complication there is staffing time for preparation. And to be honest, most of us are pretty rusty in our compounding skills for capsules, we almost never do it anymore outside of specialized pharmacies like the one in the article. Plus, what do you do when the patient goes home? Hospital pharmacies aren't licensed to dispense for outpatient use.
Compounding pharmacies have to be careful, start making too much of something and you start straying into manufacturing regulations, which they'll never be able to meet. Sadly, this isn't really going to make the difference we hope, or that this asshole deserves.
I went on a date with an Ayn Randian once. Did okay with the value of selfishness course (minimal eye-rolling) but gagged on the laissez-faire capitalism entree. I came to the reluctant conclusion that spittle-flecked earnestness really does not enhance cuteness. That was the longest 15 minutes of my life.
I smell a set up. People who can't afford Turing's price now have an alternative, which means Turing can keep its outrageous price increase (or some solid portion of it) and direct the poors who complain to the compounding pharmacy's alternative. Not the hospitals though. And that's no doubt where the big money is. Yeah.
It might be. The FDA's took steps with drugs like this that don't generate a lot of sales, where the exclusivity would be guaranteed in order to encourage one manufacturer to keep making them even though the drugs weren't very profitable, so they would still be available for patients who need it. The FDA could pull that status and open it up to anyone if they wanted to because this guy's being a douche.
"I went on a date with an Ayn Randian once" reminds me of what Oscar Wilde said of Frank Harris (author of My Life and Loves and a notorious sleazebag): "He was invited to all the best houses of London...once."
When will Shrekli start dating Bristol?
When someone justifiably stabs this puke, I will laugh out loud....with votes?

I think this guy is more of an unboneable pork rectum.

If you've got Jesus love gin snark in your heart.
Cock punch is the only acceptable resolution.
Soylent green is people too. Voting (with votes) for a special Shrkeli-flavored small batch. A no, I won't eat them either.
I think I read that's a problem. The rights to this particular drug freezes out the possibility for generics, or something along those lines.

3. And your family's, too.

My gawd, props to you for your stamina. If I went on a date with an Ayn Randian, I think I'd be crawling out the bathroom window by minute 7.
