I have a major GRIPE

With BIG Pharm
If I could bring down just one of the bad guys of our current world...big pharm gets my focus.

meet
Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN)
Is a Rare, life threatening disease that affects many parts of the body (most severely the mucus membrane, mouth, eyes and vagina). This condition is characterized by the detachment of the outer skin layer from the deeper, lower Layers of skin...think of chunks of flesh just peeling off of your body (as in all over).
Lovely, right.
The Most COMMON source of this disease?
Adverse reaction to prescribed medications. Antibiotics and Anticonvulsants are the biggest culprits.
What do you think of all those pharmaceutical commercials quickly citing their products side effects at the commercials' end?
Meet twenty-two year old Jackie B*^ns&#~+n
She's quickly dying on a hospital bed from her reaction to prescribed antidepressants...this young girl can not see (her eyes have basically melted from her face) with a feeding tube and a ventilator keeping her alive at THIS VERY MOMENT.

If immediately treated this disease still has a forty percent mortality rate...with so much loss of skin, fungi or bacteria lead to infection (sepsis) making it the most common form of death...otherwise, it comes from respiratory distress either from pneumonia or a deteriation of the lining of the airways.

Pharmacuetical companies are a business...big bussiness...just like any other Corporation, focused on sales and profits..only care about their bottom line...at any cost, even if it comes at your own expense...that is the exact reason, why, I am not fond of Corporations in General...especially Pharmacuetical corporations...
As a matter of fact, that's the problem with the American Society...
No one matters, and it's all about making money...regardless of who gets caught in the grind. In a few minutes, I will call my florist and send Jackie's family my sincerest hopes...
I, along with so many others, hope that you will pull through Jackie...
In My Prayers
