22. I love it when generics kick the slats out from under Big Pharma.

My patients (well, all patients, actually) deserve to be able to obtain medication without going bankrupt.

Big day for me recently was when lovastatin went generic. All statin medications have roughly equal efficacy, but lovastatin has far fewer side effects than simvastatin or pravastatin.

I'm happy for you, Tobin!
