Of course.

I'm sure that if the janitor at that WVU basketball game had mentioned his daughter's job search to Mylan CEO Milan Puskar he would have found a position for her too.

The medical profession isn't about healing, it's about getting rich quick. It's about keeping as much of the public on expensive drugs as long as possible.

Just so you know. My young nephew with epilepsy came very close to dying on a generic as well as my mom. Some work, some don't but you never know until it is too late or almost too late.
