So I was doing some research on common medications for a pharmacology class at school, and realized that Wikipedia is calling out the outrageous practices of pharmacological sales in the US. Right up there in the main intro to the medication they’re showing how much the drug costs to produce, versus how much a typical course of treatment costs in the USA.

Amoxicillin, a front line antibiotic, typically taken at one pill per day. 10 pills cost between 0.20 and 0.50 USD to produce, marked up at up to 80 times the price in the US.

Salbutamol, AKA an asthma puffer, on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines (considered to be the most important basic medications needed to be stocked by a pharmacy/hospital), a life saving medication.

How about oxygen? A tank of oxygen, used as a basic treatment for everything from low blood oxygen to respiratory failure to maintaining oxygen while administering anesthesia for an operation?

Epinephrine/adrenaline, AKA an epipen, given to people having a type of severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis, where their airways swell and close up. A person in anaphylaxis will die without epinephrine/adrenaline. Costs at most $0.95 to produce, and they’re sold for $70 at the absolute cheapest for a single vial.

Naloxone/Narcan, used to stop an opioid overdose. $5.30, at most, to produce. $4500 to buy.

Bisoprolol/Zebeta, given for high blood pressure, angina (chest pain), and heart failure, sold at over 1000% it costs to produce.

The combined birth control pill, ethinylestradiol/levonorgestrel. 

Also, just so you’re aware, as of late Mat 2018, 1.80 GBP is 2.40 USD. For a three month supply of the pill. The same amount could cost you 150 USD in the United States.

The MMR vaccine, given to prevent mumps, measles, and rubella – diseases that could leave you deaf, blind, infertile.

Casual reminder that the for-pay medical system is vicious and morally bankrupt.

“Watch me…”


I drew some drawings again.
These are for that lovely AU “UMFBAMHA” and the author

@ kazliin

.
These are my favorite scenes.

I think scene of first one is kind of painful, but it is a very important section in This story. so I like this scene.

Second one is my favorite conversation in chapter 11!
I am not used to drawing manga, but I wanted to draw.

when I read this scene in the original page,I could haldly contain my excitement!!
(I’m not sure about English manga’s rule,sorry if it is weird to read) 

The third one is the competition after Yuuri decided his temporary costume…THE costume finally came!
Just shouted with delight in my mind “YEEEEES!!!!”
I will be more and more enthralled by this story.

now,I finally began to read Chapter 13.
I can not wait to reach a new episode 🙂

@marimopic This is so gorgeous!! I adore the way you’ve done the first comic with Yuuri’s fading eyesight and just being able to see Viktor in the distance and the second is amazing to! You’ve really captured how hesitant they both are initially before they decide to share they bed to sleep and get a lot closer. And the last picture is beautiful, Yuuri looks incredible in it and it’s no wonder Viktor was ruined by the Eros skate!

There was noise all around him, a high-pitched, keening whine like a wounded animal and it took Viktor several seconds to realise that it was coming from himself. Curling in on himself he tried to stifle the noise but there was nothing he could do to prevent the sounds, each one cutting through his throat like shards of glass.


Guess who read the latest chapter of OBS&BH and is still not over it

and was constantly screaming internally while drawing this

@iruutciv Wow, this is absolutely beautiful!! Viktor’s emotions come through so clearly in the way you’ve drawn his posture and his expression and the style of the picture. It’s gorgeous and so heartbreaking too, I love it so much!

Of Bright Stars and Burning Hearts — Chapter 8 by @kazliin

@barechu I’m screaming this is absolutely amazing!!! The way you’ve laid it all out is absolutely beautiful and you’ve captured Viktor’s emotions so well! I adore all the little details you’ve put in like his bare feet and I love the costume design, especially the hand section. his expressions are spot on too. It’s all so perfect!!
