I don't know why, but I think it was all the macaroni and rice/high carb dinners I had to eat for lack of funds, lack of sleep, and lack of exercise during med school. What should I do, hold my medical school responsible? Then lets put all the med schools out of business and we don't have to have any more doctors. I'm sure we'll get by just fine and think of all the money we will save.

Zyprexa, which is used for the treatment of psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, accounted for 32% of Eli Lilly’s $14.6 billion revenue last year.

Zyprexa is the product name for Olanzapine,it is Lilly’s top selling drug.It was approved by the FDA in 1996 ,an ‘atypical’ antipsychotic a newer class of drugs without the motor side effects of the older Thorazine.Zyprexa has been linked to causing diabetes and pancreatitis.

Did you know that Lilly made nearly $3 billion last year on diabetic meds, Actos,Humulin and Byetta?

Yes! They sell a drug that can cause diabetes and then turn a profit on the drugs that treat the condition that they may have caused in the first place!

I was prescribed Zyprexa from 1996 until 2000.
In early 2000 i was shocked to have an A1C test result of 13.9 (normal is 4-6) I have no history of diabetes in my family.

Since most cases settle and only about 10% go to trial there would be very few in the database under the most stringent criteria. If one were to include some definition of 'unsucessful' regarding the settlement it would be highly subjective, but would include many more cases if one could assign probability of failure had the case gone to trial. <br/><br/>On the physician side, all cases that settle are considered reportable to the National Practitioner Data Bank, in addition to cases lost at jury trial. It might be fair then to consider a settlement a 'tie' because it would be largely impossible to assign a winner/looser status, and charge the settlement to both parties. Thus, patients in the Patient Databank would include loss at trial plus all who settled without establishing negligence to a preponderance of the evidence.

The database is for people who have UNSUCCESSFULLY sued. Meaning (in theory) that their lawsuits were without merit. Those with successful suits are not targeted.<br/><br/>I don't understand why patients want access to a doctor's lawsuit history (even if they eventually won) in order to decide what providers to see, but the reverse is unethical. Doctors (except in the ER) aren't obligated to treat everyone. If you owned a construction company, would you bid on a family who had sued all three of their previous contractors and lost each time? I'd run away. Have you idiots even bothered to read the link? The database is for people who have UNSUCCESSFULLY sued. Meaning (in theory) that their lawsuits were without merit.
