You've found the blog of Jere Matlock, a web designer and writer. This journal is mostly about writing, web design and getting sites to the top of the search engines (SEO is my business). It is also full of opinions and observations about pretty much everything. If these things are not of interest to you, feel free to go now. Go on, shoo!

Still here? If you have something to say, post a comment or send me an email.

By the way, if you feel like taking offense at something posted on this site, go right ahead, it won't bother me a bit. Kingsley Amis has a nice quote about that, in which I take solace and some pride when the flames arrive:

"If you can't annoy somebody, there's little point in writing."

Oregon receives $3 Million in Bristol-Myers Squibb fraud settlement.

The Oregon State Department of Justice published this press release on July 16. This was a medicaid fraud settlement based on Bristol-Myers Squibb’s antipsychotic drug Abilify being used for kids and the elderly when it wasn’t approved by the FDA for that, yet it was aggressively marketed for those uses, including bribes paid to psychiatrists to get them to prescribe it.

Psychiatry and Big Pharma are deep in each others’ pockets.

When Bristol-Myers Squibb says “Jump!” instead of asking, “How High”?” psychiatrists ask only “How much will you pay me?”
