Caltrops - We Love Katamari





	[quote name="saltlord"]The difference between a chinese liver and a russian one, or between my brain and yours, are all potential facts according to academics. It's of interest to prescribers what your metabolism's gonna do and if it can be predicted in a way that saves people suffering on the wrong drugs, it should and policy should reflect it. With cheap testing. Like the pharmacogenomic testing I took. Not all doctors believe in the testing, but then some doctors are fucking cranks that believe prozac doesn't have side effects (my personal experience) or that they should marry their kids or whatever the fuck. The debate about policy needing to be driven by modern day genetic research is gonna go on long after they disprove the bell curve once and for all (now THAT'S racist shit). This guy had a dumb, premature notion - I'll wait until I have evidence to judge how it materially affected his patient-oriented behavior as a clinician. I'd probably take him over the shrink that tried to prescribe me a hilarious amount of a drug I'd never metabolize because he read a study from the 70s or 80s where some kid had tried to OD on it and lied about his symptoms for three months. At least motherfucker writes sci-fi and is reading more modern junk science than my prozac-horny idiot.[/quote]
