Wasn't this a Law and Order episode last year?

I can't think of anything that strikes me as more evil (i am sure there is but...). people are relying upon these drugs to save their lives and when the drugs are watered down and don't work, they give up hope which i think it the most important aspect to getting well.

I met a girl at a wedding who worked for a company that made generic drugs, and she recommended ALWAYS buying the brand name drug. Her reasoning was that they will run only a single product on their machines for many years, whereas the machines at the generic plant were constantly running different drugs. As a result, the purity of their products was less than stellar.

hmm... i didn't know that. i should look into that more. i don't mind generic drugs but that has a lot to do with my prescription plan that charges 10 dollars for the generic and 20 dollars for the name brand stuff.
