Pharmaceutical companies want you to bend over and take it

During the last 2 cycles, I gained weight, because I was able to eat alot, and didn't have as much nausea.

I understand why some things cost money. The cycles needed of chemo for the uninsured would come around to $30,000, enough to buy a damn car. That's only because people who have cancer need it, and certain kinds are needed as much as others. But for pills? That's ridiculous. Not to mention the advertising involved they could've went without to cut down costs.

But really, if you have a serious disease, and you have no insurance, you are essentially dead, out on the street like a stray dog. That's the saddest part of all.

yeah I have a serious heath condition that not a lot of people know about and I really don't want to talk about, and no health insurance or medical records thanks to my loving and caring mother. I know if I applied for health insurance I would get denied, because as soon I take the physical, they would tell me either to find a rich relative that's willing to help me out, or enjoy life while I can. So I'm taking the latter. I am most definitely cool with the fact that I'm never gonna be old enough not to be able to make it to the toilet on time and have to get some pissed off hungover nurse to change my shitty diapers for me, especially after spending 6 months painting a huge nursing home.

What, putting a price on a person's health? I guess you'll make a lot of money.



From family guy:

" I'm sorry timmy, you need fifteen tickets to live" *timmy falls down trap door*

Yes, I want to become a pharamacist, I'm looking at colleges right now.

My brother wanted to be a pharmicist...he even worked at ekerd as a pharmacy tech for a while until he got busted for taking some candy home every night for himself and his brother(me) and friends.

It is a great job just try not to loose your soul chasing paper.

Soul chasing paper?

It's happiness that matters anyway, right?

Sometimes, it does take a life-changing disease to truly appreciate life.

yea...paper as in money, soul as in the thing that makes you who you are, and chasing as in getting. I don't know if chasing is the right spelling, but hey im no genious.

I get it now, but I don't know, it' doesn't make sense. The money is good, but I just want to play with drugs.

True that. I wouldn't have my life any other way. I'm the happiest person I know.

I think she was teasing you 'cause you didn't put in a comma.
