NOTE BY NORSE; A segment of the homeless population has their status dismissed and demeaned by describing them as “mentally ill” and there are currently bills pending in the state legislature to strip rights from those who do not “take their meds”, ramping up the repressive Laura’s Law, which so far has been limited. To defend the rights of the homeless means defending the rights of those labeled “mentally ill”.

Lilly is trying to cortnol the information that physicians receive about its drug. A reasonable response on the part of physicians would be to decline to see to Lilly “detailers” or write Lilly scripts (when possible for patient care) until all the Zyprexa information is in the public domain. A script for Viagra instead of a script for Cialis, for example, will meet patients’ needs while sending a message to Lilly that physicians need full information on all these drugs if we are to prescribe them.
