Yesterday my doctor was telling me how many of the hospitals and clinics doing the infusion are charging thousands of dollars each month (this really bugs him a lot). He said if a clinic charges $10,000 per month per patient and they have 100 patients getting Tysabri, that increases their revenue by $1,000,000 per year. That's an interesting way of looking at it.

He said that when the orals come out, the sham doctors will be easy to identify because those will be the places that are still pushing Tysabri aggressively.
