I wish I had a good answer to give back to you, but my heart is too broken right now to think of any. You are one callous lady…..very intellectual and seem to have it all together…..well, great for you. Sure, the drug manufacturer’s are greedy, but to suggest they are making more out of the anxiety and fear that people are feeling is obscene in my book. I wish I had seen one of their ads when I was going through the worst time with my Panic Disorder…..care to walk in my shoes for a day? Rita
