Especially intriguing was the discussion thread called “What are some of your favorite quotes that have motivated and inspired you?” They are quotes that they share with patients or with each other, or that they just think are cool and sound good. Here are just 15 from the 70 or so responses: “Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.” –Hilary Cooper “If you can keep your wits about you while others are losing theirs and blaming you, the world will be yours.” –Rudyard Kipling “Give a man a fish and you fe...

But it wasn’t all progress. Psychology has a painful past — with many victims. One of the most devastating times in psychology was a movement called eugenics, a name coined by Sir Francis Galton in 1883. The goal of eugenics was to improve the genetic composition of the population: to encourage healthy, smart individuals to reproduce (called positive eugenics) and to discourage the poor, who were considered unintelligent and unfit, from reproducing (negative eugenics). One of the main methods to discourage reproduction was through sterilization. While it seems ludicrous now, many people, both abroad and in the U.S., agreed with the principles of eugenics. In fact, state governments soon started establishing st...

CannonThat’s the headline of an article posted this week in Politico: Rarely have so many political strategists been so wrong about something so big. But when it comes to the health care bill, everyone from former President Bill Clinton on down whiffed on some of the more significant predictions. Democrats would run aggressively on the legislation? Nope. Voters would forget about the sausage-making aspects of the legislative process? Doesn’t seem that way, as the process contributed to the sense that the bill was deeply flawed. And Clinton’s own promise to jittery Democrats that their poll numbers would skyrocket after the bill finally passed also didn’t pan out, as the party is fighting for its life in the midterms. What can explain the miscalculation? ...

A federal judge this week denied yet another a bid to dismiss a shareholder lawsuit, which accused the group of playing shenanigans with the results. At issue, is whether Schering-Plough and Merck (which were partners) handled the release of the trial data properly, given a two-year delay, a brief change in the primary endpoint without consulting the lead investigator and huge stock sales by some Schering-Plough execs. The trial, by the way, found Vytorin wasn’t any better at reducing arterial plaqu...

Despite Carrie’s shopping habits, Hymas argues that Carrie lives a very “green” life by choosing not to have children, not owning a car, working from home, and traveling by air infrequently. But we don’t buy that those practices negate Carrie’s retail addiction. The woman literally never wears the same clothes (or shoes) twice, and we doubt that she ever got her Manolos secondhand on eBay. Oh, Carrie. You may unintentionally minimize your carbon footprint, but deep green would be such a good color on you. via Grist.org Post from: Bli...

Carrie writes at her natural parenting blog Natural Moms Talk Radio and her business blog, CarrieLauth.com. Carrie shares her long-term experience as a volunteer breastfeeding counselor. What has your breastfeeding experience been like? Joyful. I’ve had a few challenges along the way. I’m still nursing my fourth child so my breastfeeding days will probably be over in another year. I’m sure I’ll miss it! With my first, things were a little rough at first. He had issues with thrush, and it took us nearly a year to beat that entirely. I was nervous and worried about my supply like many new moms, so I switched him back and forth constantly, leading to a foremilk/hindmilk i...

Tom Koestler, chief scientist: Jan. 7 at 2 p.m. Fred Hassan, ceo: Jan. 10 at 8 a.m. Tom Sabatino, general counsel: Jan. 10 at 8 a.m. Carrie Smith Cox, exec vp and president: Jan. 10 at 8:30 a.m. Bob Bertolini, exec vp: Jan. 10 at 9 a.m. The study results were issued in a press release on Jan. 14, although that came after a delay of nearly two years with scant info from either Schering-Plough or Merck, its joint-venture partner. By then, however, the drugmakers endured two months of withering criticism for briefly changing ...

A quick recap: the study was designed to measure plaque in neck arteries, but results weren’t released for nearly two years. The drugmakers blame the delay on difficulty reading ultrasound images. But they briefly changed the primary endpoint without consulting their lead investigator; there was no data safety monitoring board, and they appointed an ‘independent’ panel to review the data, but three members had...

It’s fair to assume the public would have benefited from knowing that a less expensive drug works just as well. Instead, people in Iowa and elsewhere paid more for nearly two years, while industry leaders sat on a scientific study that would have revealed this information,” he says in a statement.

In particular, Carrie Smith Cox, the Schering-Plough president, sold 900,000 shares worth $28 million last spring. Now, BrandweekNRX has played our favorite game - connect the dots. And so, here’s the background, as the site tells it… Sean McNicholas was vp of marketing for endocrine care at Pharmacia, which sold Genotropin, the human growth hormone until 2001. His boss’ boss was…drumroll…Carrie Smith Cox, who was Pharmacia’s president. Pharmacia, was later bought by Pfizer, was later charged in federal court with offering a kickback in the year 2000 in connection with its outsourcing contract for Genotropin, and agreed to plead guilty to the charge ...

A subcommittee spokesman tells us that letters are due to be sent to Merck and Schering-Plough today or tomorrow, following comments made this morning on CBS’s Early Show by subcommittee chair Bart Stupak, a Democrat from Michigan. “There’s certainly major misrepresentations not only to the effectiveness of the drug, but manipulating of the scientific data to further promote a product that isn&#8...

One of them is sung by Carrie Underwood, a winner on the American Idol television show that our family watches with enthusiasm. The song is called “Jesus Take the Wheel” and tells the story of a young mother driving home on an icy highway, her sleeping baby in the car seat in the back. Her car goes into a skid and with seeming divine intervention she survives with no injuries and her baby remaining asleep through it all. I am not a very religious person and I am not a Christian, but I did think of that song as we approach the New Year. Yesterday I got that call you hate to receive from your teenager: “Dad, it’s Ruthie (our 14-year-old). Hannah and I have been in an accident.
