Que Lastima!

Filed under: The C. O.

Hooboy….your narrator is in the midst of a lack-of-internet-access crisis; in fact, as I type this now there are approximately seven angry people standing behind me waiting to check their email. Excuse me while I address them:

“HEY! Back off, you tedious purveyors of insipid braggadocio!”

There, that ought to hold them.

Until I get this problem solved I will be forced to run from one free wi-fi kaffeklatch to another, staying one jump ahead of the Internet Police.

In the meantime, read this article about how the FDA is shocked, shocked to find that doctors are prescribing medicines for diseases that have not received the official Uncle Sam seal of approval.

Maybe this is not an ideal way to treat non-malignant diseases, but in my line of work if we only used chemotherapy and targeted therapy agents for FDA-approved indications our patients “shall never see so much, nor live so long.”

More to come. May the cable companies be cursed for their lousy service!
