I wish you were my doctor but I am in the UK so it is a bit far to come

Jennifer is, always has been and always will be one of the few great ones! Anytime my doctor recommended any sort of drug or vaccine to me, I felt as though there was a kickback. If you want to see just how corrupt pharma companies are, look up the word "Honoraria" in the context of clinical trials. That is when they literally pay doctors to use their products. Some compensation is necessary for Phase 1-3 trials, but they are doing it with post market studies. I quit a former job because a big pharma company was passing millions through us targeted for doctors using their drugs.

This is why I respect you more than you can know. We are both in careers that could so easily take us down the wrong path…….but we don’t take that path.

You stay on the good side and avoid the corruption as well. Well done my friend.

Jennifer: thank you for your integrity! I knew someone years ago who was a MD and was invited by Big Pharma to vacation at a 5 star resort to talk about a new medication. All expenses paid. At the time i thought this was nice. Now i know better🧐.

Who says there's no such thing as a free lunch! I'm pleased Dr. Funtimes didn't recommend 1,000 shots in exchange for the chicken salad.

The chicken salad was probably warm and gross too!

Solar Tuna Salad.

Very energy efficient to let it warm itself naturally.

Inconceivable!

My name is Jennifer Fun Times.

You killed my patient.

Prepare to die!

Thx for the link! I'm cking all the docs associated with my family's health. We'll see what dirty little secrets are revealed.

Betting the UVA affiliated docs are sewn up tighter than a voodoo doc's drum.

OH they love to hide the dirty in healthcare systems….but you can dig into the health system as a whole and work your way backwards……..it is a gross deep dive but you will also be like holy balls they took how much?!?!?
