I just came from a company training in which the presenter claimed the New England Journal Medicine cited a study by a Dr. Eisenberg in which the mark-up on the drug Prozac was 224,000per cent. No typo, here--two hundred and twenty-four thousand per cent is the intended figure.

I suppose someone on these boards can rationalize this as the operations of a free and competitive market exercise? Interested to see the spin doctors work on this one!

Doctors work long, stressful hours. But I was interested in the bumper sticker on a local doc's Lexus. It read, "You don't need to fool all of the people all of the time, just enough to get rich!"
