Currently working for a client who recently launched a product that slashes death risk by 31% in a particular type of terminal cancer. Healthcare / Pharma may have it’s ups and downs when it comes to feeling proud bu working as a communications partner, but it really feels good to know that the bastards, sometimes, reach such positive results.
- just in case, I'm not advocate of big pharma, nor a negligent cunt. I just happen to make a living in a very controversial, but not always disastrous terrainmaquito
- Ironically, big pharma is out to solve problems and advance human healthcare. In most cases they aren’t even the bad guys.monospaced
- Phew, mono. If I could even be succint enough to explain just a little of what I have learned in these 9 years working for them..maquito
- Dudes have extremely political structures. they kill each other to ascend. Ridiculous budgets. But the real deal is the patientmaquito
- I’ve had the chance to talk with guys that speak with their eyes full of tears about patients. Blah. Not a subject for a sidebar monologue.maquito
- There's no profit in dead people, mono, but there's also no profit in curing people. The whole business is built on keeping people alive but unwell.********
- ^ I don't subscribe to that conspiracy. If one money grabbing cunt can cure you and sweep all the profits immediately they will do it.Hayzilla
- You only have to look at the majority of medicine from big pharma to see that it's not a conspiracy at all, it's very evidently true.********
- No chance I'm getting in to a qbn argument though so each to their own my darlings.********
- The only two issues I've been to the doctors over in the past decade is problems with blocked nose and issues with heartburn/acid reflux...********
- In both incidences, I was prescribed drugs that would essentially have to be taken for life in order to mask the symptoms, in truth making the issues worse...********
- if you were to come off them. I didn't take them and instead looked for the cause of the problem, something that doctors, ime, don't seem to give one shit about********
- "Mask the problem with these expensive drugs that'll be a real bastard to come off, and forget about the actual reason causing your symptoms, Sir."********
- ...but you have every right to believe differently.********
- @set, your experience is very common, and the problem lies with the doctors themselves more than the pharma companies. Many people do need those drugs.monospaced
- I think it's great you found alternatives. I hope it makes you feel better to know there ARE doctors who consider alternatives first over meds.monospaced
- The doctors don't profit directly from prescribing more drugs. Some are quite lazy though, and pharma makes it easy. But they're good people most of them.monospaced
