Ya hablé en su día de la gripe aviar y el Tamiflú la famosa medicina milagro que nos salvaría a todos la vida.
Pues bien, la gripe ya la tenemos a las puertas y podría ocurrir que el Tamiflú no sea eficaz para los nuevos virus mutantes que puedan venir. pero claro la industria farmaceutica tiene ahora otra preocupación, los parches de nicotina, of cursi.
VIene que ni pintado el discurso que ayer dio mi admirado Dr. House cuando es obligado a dar un discurso sobre un nuevo medicamento:

“…A few things I forgot to mention. Ed Vogler is a brilliant businessman. A brilliant judge of people, and a man who has never lost a fight. You know how I know the new ACE inhibitor is good? Because the old one was good. The new one is really the same, it’s just more expensive. A lot more expensive. See, that’s another example of Ed’s brilliance. Whenever one of his drugs is about to lose its patent he has his boys and girls alter it just a tiny bit and patent it all over again. Making not just a pointless new pill, but millions and millions of dollars. Which is good for everbody, right? The patients, pish. Who cares, they’re just so damn sick! God obviously never liked them anyway. All the healthy people in the room, let’s have a big round of applause for Ed Vogler!”
