I wish these critics would talk about some of the more important issues. I am tired of hearing that drug companies are to blame for everything. Where is individual accountability? (as I've said before I am no lover of the pharma industry, just want to bring some common sense and individual accountability) Do you know what else is the fault of the drug and device companies?
