STANFORD UNIVERSITY'S BAND OF GOLD BRIGADE IS AS SHARP AS BARBED WIRE ON DOUBLE STANDARDS
	Stanford University's MALI EINEN Comes Clean		Dr.Emannuel Mignoit Stanford's guru on sleep disorders who admits he's sleeping with his hypothalamus... and apparently the rest of his brain as well.
She's been using GHB on a daily basis for about 2 decaces now but has never been arrested. Is that because she's white, married, and a female? Possibly. She is using the drug as treatment for cataplexy, but why are some patients prescribed the medication they need while others are left without medication?
Stanford University Sleep Disorders Clinic's Mali Einen has been taking daily doses of gamma hydroxybutyrate for about 15 years now. GHB is outlawed as the date rape drug and even though there is other medication that can be used to control cataplexy, Ms Einen still prefers taking the "real thing". That's why Orphan Medical introduced Xyrem, sodium oxybate, the same drug as gamma hydroxybutyrate. To get her "fix", Mali went to work for Emmanuel Mignot, the French doctor who prescribes the drug for some to use but not others. Dr. Mignot told Mali that she needed to take the drug or else she would keep falling due to cataplectic seizures. When GHB became illegal, Mali didn't have to worry because she was on Dr. Mignoit's list. Mali is just one example of someone who uses GHB on a regular basis. There are many other Malis out there, able to get medications they want for disorders they have. But the majority of us are not so privileged. Neil Hennessey (1980 - 2005) wasn't as lucky as Mali. In 1999, Neil was diagnosed with cateplexy. His doctor lied and told him their wasn't anything anyone could do. Neil was persistent and spent time trying to obtain GHB. In 2002, OM introduced GHB as Xyrem. Neil's doctors felt he was "safer" living without it. In 2006, Neil was on his way to visit a friend when he fell into the street during a cateplectic attack as an 18-wheeler was barrelling down the road. The wheels smashed Neil's skull so badly that every bit of matter inside his head was gone! Just how "safe" was Neil, anyway?
hard-working harbour runs a tight ship a physician who misunderstands the work he does is far more thorough about finances than he is about patient care for his knowledge about medical insurance, he gets an A, his work as a clinician, however, earns him an... F
There are few doctors as flamboyant as Michael Harbour. He's about as compassionate as the kid in high school that always annoyed you, only gutless without much interest in what his patients have to say. Once he gets to know his patients, then he'll teach them a few of his tricks, like selling crystal methamphetamine and marijuana that he supplies them. It's a business as everything he does is a business. His goals are getting money and keeping up his reputation. Dr. Harbour is the only one I know who charges $450 (on the sliding scale low end) for a referral. As he will tell you himself, he needs the money because "I'm not making enough... I should be making more, but most of the money from the clinic goes to them (hospital and university administrators). Can we blame someone like Dr. Harbour for his double standard approach to medication? YES. Physicians like Dr. Harbour are not serving their community if they are concealing what they do. Specializing in HIV, Dr. Harbour is considered one of the best. But why? I still can't understand how a physician can be considered the "best" if he or she dispenses Viramune for a patient with a history of liver disorders, and gets angry if the patient tries to communicate. Not the type of patient care that people need.
