Quote of the week - and It's only Monday morning!

"When you marry the devil's daughter don't be surprised when your father-in-law comes to visit."

A Celebrity Patient's Backing Turns Sour for Drug Company … wasn't the truth, he says now. Within weeks of taking Abilify, Mr. Behrman says he felt stiffness and agitation in his legs. He says Abilify clouded his thinking. He now says the drug made him feel worse than any treatment he has tried…[Wall Street Journal]

Editor's Note: Sequence of events: (A) Bristol hires author/bipolar patient to tell the world how great Abilify is, pays him $10K per day in speaking fees and he tells everyone it is the best thing since sliced bread.(B) His contract is over and he demands $7.5 million to renew; BMS tells him to shove it.(C) Now he's going around saying that he lied all along and Abilify hade him feel like crap.Bottom Line: When you marry the devil's daughter don't be surprised when your father-in-law comes to visit.
