Blog postChlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease that infects close to 3 million people in the United States each year. For women, chlamydia causes an inflammation of the cervix which often produces no symptoms. Unfortunately, the bacteria can make its way up into the uterus and cause a bigger infection (called pelvic inflammatory disease). Some women get very sick from this infection, and for others it happens silently with no pain, fever, or outward signs. Either way it can scar t

Blog postI just returned from the annual conference of the American Congress of OB/GYN in Washington, DC. The first thing I did when I hit the exhibit hall was look for Ther-Rx and their display booth for Makena. I wanted to see what they were spending on their display and how many docs they were trying to take out for dinner. You know, if they were putting their anticipated profit to good use.
After walking the exhibit hall several times, I couldn’t find it. So, I asked an ACOG -
Blog postAnother celebrity, this time Lady Gaga, is in trouble for using the word “retarded” out of context.
Retarded is derived from the Latin, retardare and means a delay. This etymology helps to explain the appropriate medical use of the word: mentally retarded referring to an individual with significantly sub average intellectual functioning, typically an I.Q. of less than 70-75, and physical retardation which means a significant delay in physical abilities.

Blog postI’m going to be blunt here. Cigna is on my shit list.
Oliver needed hand occupational therapy. Unfortunately, it wasn’t covered by my primary insurance. Lucky for me, my work provides a secondary insurance that picks up some of the benefits missed by the primary.
Secondary insurances can be tricky, but I know the rules.
As far as my plan is concerned, if it isn’t a covered benefit under the primary, no letter of denial is required. Great, I thought. Hand -
Blog postThe American Congress of OB/GYN (ACOG) initially supported Ther-Rx’s application to the FDA for Makena. When the astronomical price, a hike from $10 to $1500 a shot, was announced ACOG released this statement:
ACOG is extremely concerned that women’s health may be shortchanged by this high price tag, and we’re asking Ther-Rx to reconsider it’s pricing and to ensure women have full access to this important drug.
Then on April 1, 2011 after Ther-Rx announced the p -
Blog postWe have been working on money every night. I posted back in March about how this was posing a particular challenge for Oliver. Each night we spend 15 minutes (that seems like 15 hours) identifying and adding change change. We’re making headway, but Oliver has convinced himself that he can’t do it.
Each time the demon of self-doubt rears its ugly head, I go right back to the Pokémon analogy, that if he can remember Pikachu has iron tail (and every other freakin’ t -
Blog postIt started in February. KV Pharmaceuticals submitted an application to the FDA to make Makena (17 hydroxyprogesterone or 17OP) an orphan drug. The application was endorsed by the March of Dimes. The actual quote from the medical director of the March of Dimes, Dr. Alan Fleischman, was “There will be consistency and high quality. This makes it a breakthrough not only that it’s FDA approved and doctors will be comfortable in recommending it, but also there will be high quality an

Blog postOliver struggles physically, and he knows it. We have discussions about how he is last in sports, even behind the smallest girls (sigh). I tell him about his heart and his lungs and his muscles, but what does that mean to a 7-year-old? He just thinks it is unfair, and it is.
It has taken 18 months to get him anywhere in swimming, and now he can swim the length of the pool, dive to the bottom of the deep end, and is trying to master some semblance of a dive. But there ar -
Blog postRep. Henry Waxman, Rep. Frank Pallone, Jr., and Rep. Diana DeGette sent a letter on March 24th to Gregory Divis, the CEO of Ther-Rx, regarding the pricing of Makena (see below). Of note, the honorable Mr. Waxman, Mr. Pallone, Jr, and Ms. Degette produced a far more sternly worded letter and asked much better questions than Dr. Howse from the March of Dimes.
The letter gives an April 1, 2011 time line for a response.

Blog postToday (March 23rd) Dr. Jennifer Howse of the March of Dimes (MOD) finally responded to the egregious price gouging/extortion that is Makena (17 Alpha-hydroxyprogesterone caproate, or 17OP, newly packaged as an orphan drug). As we all know, this travesty was blessed by the March of Dimes. I and others have blogged about our concerns, not only with KV Pharmaceuticals/Ther-Rx and their pricing (and woefully inadequate patient assistance program), but also about the March of Dimes
