No, she can't afford her drugs because it costs ~$400 million to send a drug to the FDA for approval.

No, she can't afford her drugs because it costs ~$400 million to send a drug to the FDA for approval.

And 9/10 drugs fail to get past either internal or FDA testing...

You're not paying for the pill, you're paying for the failed drugs before it.

I loved getting lunch from the roach coach! My dad had a cabinet shop in CA, and we would always eat lunch off that that thing.

oh yeah forgot the free drinks.

seriously though drug companies pay way more for commercial advertising than direct physician interaction.
 

I gave a homeless guy my leftovers one time......
I wonder if he posted about it?
