Compounding group sues FDA for removing Lilly's weight loss drug from shortage list

I actually think you are right that we may be in this situation in the future. I guess I have a more skeptical view of our future though. I'll leave behind all the silliness and colorful comparison. I have seen so very much much death and pain in the world that nobody cares about. I truly believe that corporations own our government and Healthcare system and there is nothing we can do about that. I work for a great heathcare organization and at its best it's just a shell to make money. People get hurt and it gets brushed under the rug. Employees get ground down to nothing by a horrifyingly abusive patient base that is angry and an uncaring management. Having been selfless for decades and gotten little reward, actually been bitten, clawed, screamed at, punched, and threatened regularly I have become selfish in this, yes. Do you blame me?

I hope we can get this win too, but am not hopeful that it would change anything. Doing for myself is all I can do because in the US healthcare is geared toward not helping me but taking my money.

I had to look where your located for a hot minute I thought you must be a nurse in the Bay Area. But no it’s worse you live in a part of the country where nurses are paid slave wages. At least I was making $106/ hour while being cussed at, spit at, clawed, and hit. ( that was 4 years ago, I talked to a nurse that works in SanFran and she’s up to $147/hour). You need a raise. Sorry

You were making 2.5x to what I make in MO - granted cost of living but DANG. Slave wages.

The pay is crazy up there but I called it living in purgatory. DH got promoted and I followed 2 years later. Met some nice people but I was VERY happy to move back home to the OC.Even though the pay is 25% less. But the cancer is spreading in California someday there will be no pockets of decency left.
My little IV job is bad pay but easy peasy work. Since I technically failed retirement I am not there for the $$ just to get out of the house. The clients want to be there and no more nastiness, win, win.

I would take less pay for easy (or easier) work. Esp if the patients want to be there.

I don’t practice in the US and am no longer a litigator so I may be wrong but… it would make sense for them to file a motion for injunctive relief (or whatever the equivalent is) which would be heard on an emergency or expedited basis. Whether it would be granted is anyone’s guess.

You're right. Looks like they requested a temporary restraining order on Tuesday.
