Comments on: Viagra Failed? Let Medtronic Prop You Up http://www.pharmalot.com/2009/10/viagra-failed-let-medtronic-prop-you-up/ News, Comment and Conversation Fri, 10 Feb 2012 18:13:48 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Justice in Michigan http://www.pharmalot.com/2009/10/viagra-failed-let-medtronic-prop-you-up/#comment-437268 Justice in Michigan Wed, 14 Oct 2009 23:11:48 +0000 http://www.pharmalot.com/?p=19036#comment-437268 Hi Harpy, PharmaLittle is a group endeavor, so I can only speak for myself. Odds are we will continue with posts that are less "latest news" (never really did that) than a combination of policy questions, reflections, and satire (like our Peanut Thread, which is still my favorite), and some of the issues that are our "specialities," like drug and device preemption. We have a thread now on why folks not otherwise involved "professionally" get "hooked on drugs" (the topic) which is of the sort I'm talking about. Not that I know anything about this, but the device that--in essence--"pumped you up" always seemed to me something that couples could have fun with. It's probably before your time, but, when I was a kid, there were these little water rockets.... Hi Harpy,

PharmaLittle is a group endeavor, so I can only speak for myself. Odds are we will continue with posts that are less “latest news” (never really did that) than a combination of policy questions, reflections, and satire (like our Peanut Thread, which is still my favorite), and some of the issues that are our “specialities,” like drug and device preemption.

We have a thread now on why folks not otherwise involved “professionally” get “hooked on drugs” (the topic) which is of the sort I’m talking about.

Not that I know anything about this, but the device that–in essence–”pumped you up” always seemed to me something that couples could have fun with. It’s probably before your time, but, when I was a kid, there were these little water rockets….

I'm guessing "invasiveness" was intended to refer to what Ed refers to as "rigid metal tubes".... Harpy and Nathan–Great to see you back here.

I’m guessing “invasiveness” was intended to refer to what Ed refers to as “rigid metal tubes”….

The whole stent industry opens up (so to speak) another can of worms (so to speak). Do we know whether Dr. Rogers and Medtronic are dating? Yikes.

Do we know whether Dr. Rogers and Medtronic are dating?
