The United States Medical System, Part Two in a Series Through Photos


23 years, beginning in infancy, four different benzos (Nitrazepam, Ativan, Klonopin and Clobazam),
zero seizure control,
high dependency, still being prescribed to babies and young children
despite little to no evidence of efficacy
THE REAL TIGER MOTHERS take charge

The Price of Addiction
(deductible finally met in November because of MRI, etc., catalogued in The United States Medical System, Part One in a Series Through Photos
co-pay for drug over eight years has ranged from $0 to $780 according to the whims
of the United States Capitalist Medical System
where patients are consumers and the HHS Secretary is Big Pharma


Never Go Backwards
(went backwards at behest of Neurology BigWigs one year ago, a seriously fucked up decision)
backwards means once you start to wean, don't jack up the dose
backwards means after weaning 80% over three years, you jack up the dose to a larger amount than four years previously

  1. I clearly chose the wrong part of the medical system to work in. Though I do get to administer those medications. Maybe I could charge a commission.

  2. I can't believe how expensive onfi is. It's ridiculous.

    Never go backwards seems like good advice for life in general.
