FDA Warns of More Fake Cancer Drug

     This is completely awful!  The FDA has had to warn doctors about counterfeit cancer drugs, specifically Avastin.  Thank goodness this was brought to light before any patients received the counterfeit drug.  People are trusting these doctors and in hand trusting the manufacturer of their prescribed drugs.  There must be a higher standard of QC and QA.  This mistake is unacceptable especially when it deals with the health of people.

     Yes, it is horrible that this is actually taking place but what is even more awful is that doctors are buying unapproved drugs to beat the system with Medicare.  Dr. Joel Bernstein has pleaded guilty to doing this.  What a poor ethical choice on his part!  He deserves to lose his liscense if he hasn't already.  If he doesn't there there is no doubt he will lose all his patients with his ethical choice.  As I have learned in class it only takes ONE wrong decision or choice to completely turn off the public and it is very hard to come back to your high status after falling from grace.
