Things my insurance company would like to know:
* Condition/disease information, including diagnosis date, first symptom information, and family history * Treatment regimens, including treatment start dates, stop dates, dosages, and side effects * Symptoms experienced, including severity and duration * Laboratory results (e.g. CD-4 count, Viral Load) * Biographical information, including photo, bio, gender, age, location (city, state & country), and general notes * Genetic information, including information on individual genes and/or entire genetic scans In other words, everything you’d need to specifically identify an individual patient except for their name. And you can get their name by hiring PeekYou, a service that uses this system to reverse-engineer personally identifying information from “anonymous” user information — such as passwords* screennames, family names and dates of birth — commonly found all over the web. -Jim Edwards |

gee.. sounds like things we talk about in here. sounds like things my doc also would like to know. i am sure there are many blog sites such as facebook that a person would reveal as much. i am with laura. what's the big deal? seems a tad of paranoia is involved here. should i get up and leave the stage, or sit and see where this goes..maybe i will just turn off the tv and puter and go live my life.

Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they're not after me......
I could see them harvesting any evidence of adverse reactions to meds, or info to use in future litigations. |

I will, however, pay more attention to the Fields of Fire and choose my battles more carefully, instead of going through the roof everytime I hear the word "Pharma". Groups of children follow me in the street, chanting "Pharma, Pharma, Pharma", just for the fun of watching me break something. That's always a sign that i need to get rid of some of my old clichés and replace them with new clichés. I vow I will not touch a drop of Pharma for the rest of this month. |

i won't tell you what I heard on tv this morning then. i'm tempted to make a wager that you will indeed mention them but it would be too easy - don't want to steal your money.

just being reiterated by someone - who knows what the purpose for the article is? it's not breaking news - i just used it to tease you. are there people in civilized countries who don't know that doctors are given "gifts" and in return the doctor uses their product, It's not illegal. wonder what the scots do about conflict of interests. or the UK in general? by law, patients can't be around the pharmaceuticals amd we were not prmitted to enter their exhibits hall They said patients try to buy drugs there.....i'm a little confused about it.maybe bryn, grey , swept or Tom can say more. The article is old news just continuing. Not worth breaking a vow over. I would love to hear from those in the UK or anwhere outside the USA about their experiences with pharmas. How aware are they of the extent of the conflcits of interest., and activists involved. We should fundraise madly to make our own trials and treatments. All we need is a billionaire who wants to cure this illness.......hmmm maybe we should look toward the oil companies. or work with NASA. http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE69I3PO20101019
