Remember, there are two ways drug companies can make money:
- Invent new drugs
- Invent new diseases already invented drugs can treat
In the past decade or so, Big Pharma has created less than 10 new novel drugs per year.
As an example of Big Pharma inventing diseases is “short, normal” children. We can treat “short, normal” kids with human growth hormone and make them “normal.” For parents who want tall or “normal-sized” children, they can inject their kids with growth hormone on a regular basis. When I worked with Nader at his group, Public Citizen, in 2006, I wrote a petition to the FDA to ban human growth hormone on the newly approved disease, “short, normal” children because we identified about 10 reported cases of “short, normal” children who had died from complications of receiving human growth hormone.
Leon Eisenberg, “The Father/Inventor Of ADHD”, on his deathbed
Too many people tell me that they suffer from ADHD when, to me, they suffer from the consequence of bad design. Are you familiar with the Social construct theory of ADHD?:
ADHD as a social construct [edit]
Psychiatrists Peter Breggin and Sami Timimi oppose pathologizing the symptoms of ADHD. Sami Timimi, who is an NHS child and adolescent psychiatrist, explains ADHD as a social construct rather than an objective ‘disorder’.[5] Timimi argues that western society creates stress on families which in turn suggests environmental causes for children expressing the symptoms of ADHD.[6] They also believe that parents who feel they have failed in their parenting responsibilities can use the ADHD label to absolve guilt and self-blame. A common argument against the medical model of ADHD asserts that while the traits that define ADHD exist and may be measurable, they lie within the spectrum of normal healthy human behaviour and are not dysfunctional. However, by definition, in order to diagnose with a mental disorder, symptoms must be interpreted as causing a person distress / espec. maladaptive. In America, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-IV) requires that “some impairment from the symptoms is present in two or more settings” and that “there must be clear evidence of significant impairment in social, school, or work functioning” for a diagnosis of ADHD to be made.

Bloomberg’s head of tech Catherine Hui handed out tons of great career tips at a recent Girls in Tech/Facebook meetup. Here, some of the best:
On mistakes:
“Acknowledge your mistakes and you’ll be fine.”
“It’s not about making a mistake - it’s about how you handle it.”
“The sky is going to fall at some point. The key is how you handle the post-mortem.”
On mentorship:
“Find someone who has your best interest in mind - that’s a true mentor.”
Don’t be shy. People want to help you.
Meet with your mentors/members of your network regularly.
Choose your mentor wisely.
Have at least one or two awesome geeks in your network of mentors.
On who she hires:
What blogs do they follow? What is their favorite news source? Does this person have a natural curiosity for what’s happening?
Can this person learn fast?
People don’t necessarily need to have a tech background- but they should have communication skills, be a team player, and most importantly they should have common sense/strong problem solving skills.And finally, these gems:
“We [women] need to learn how to ask for things … Men never wait to ask.”
“I didn’t become who I am by accident. I struggled through the whole journey.”
