Swede’s Photographs

Good morning. 🩺💊⚕️

14 March 2025

Do you use a pill organizer? If you do, chances are you’re no longer a spring chicken. I remember when I was first prescribed a daily pill—it was in my forties, and my blood pressure had climbed well past the acceptable range. I was preparing for dental surgery when my dentist, a colonel, ordered me to head straight to the emergency room. At the ER, the nurse who took my blood pressure got quite excited (she did give it back), though the doctor seemed unfazed. And that’s how I ended up with my starter pack of meds. Since then, my daily regimen has grown little by little, to the point where I now struggle to fit everything into my pill organizer.

"I believe in prescription drugs. I believe in feeling better." - Denis Leary

Echo of the Wild "The image captures a striking male red-winged blackbird perched on a bare branch, seemingly mid-song. His glossy black feathers gleam, accentuating the vivid red and yellow patch on his wings. The bright, almost ethereal morning light in the background highlights the bird and the branch, creating a powerful contrast. The scene feels alive with the promise of a new day. The photograph is signed "© Swede's Photographs" at the bottom right, showcasing its artistic touch." - Copilot

Not All Generics Are Created Equal: Study Exposes a 54% Higher Risk in imported generics from emerging economies like India

The results show that all generic drugs are not equal, even though patients are often told that they are, said John Gray, co-author of the study and professor of operations at The #Ohio State University’s Fisher College of Business.

The issue seems to stem from regulatory oversight differences, as FDA inspections abroad are prearranged, potentially hiding quality concerns.

They said that in response to my query about the manufacturer: is my #Rx actually made in #Canada or the #USA?

Because if the latter, then given the literal current condition of official USA federal websites, data and knowledge repositories, etc rapidly removing any reference to #trans people (among other #BannedWords), I am concerned the medication could be discontinued entirely.

The #Biden admin said Thurs that #DrugPrice negotiations will knock hundreds of dollars — in some cases thousands — off the list prices of 10 of #Medicare’s most popular & costliest #drugs.

The discounts, agreed to after months of negotiations w/ #drug manufacturers, range between 38% & 79% on the #medication’s list price, which is the cost of medication before discounts/rebates are applied — not the price people pay for #prescriptions.

Compare the Candidates on #HealthCarePolicy

The general election campaign is underway, spotlighting former President Trump, the Republican nominee, and Vice President Harris, the Democratic nominee, as the viable contenders for the presidency

Although #HealthCare reform may not be a central issue in this election as in the past, health care remains a significant concern for voters. #Trump and #Harris have distinctly different records and positions on health care

#BrexitBenefit

Patients describe effect on their health & wellbeing of the new normal of drug shortages in UK, leading to 3+ month delays & 80-mile round trips to acquire #medication

Others struggle to get antidepressants & ADHD medication. The delays cause fears I would experience medication #shortages for something more serious in the future
