I don’t know how this claim has gone so viral.

This was actually completely intentional by Novo.

Novo Nordisk does not operate in an “oops. lawyer forgot the $250 CAD fee” manner.

This is, with all due respect, a shallow read of Novo’s actual corporate strategy.

@AmmousMD I dunno man. People usually like functioning brains, hearts, and limbs.

@Truth_is_King_ @DrNeilStone 1) Gilead doesn’t have a rich chemo portfolio

“But who will fill out the forms?”

You wonder why doctors are leaving, or looking for something new, and you don’t have to stray very far from the reality of the everyday employed physician.

@mcuban @DrDiGiorgio Have you ever shadowed an internist? 🤣 The overwhelming portion of the work day is spent on a computer explicitly because of ACA/CMS requirements. My predecessors used to jot down handwritten notes and carry on.
