A health-care chain in the Midwest has purged its offices of all “the clipboards, clocks, mouse pads, stuffed animals and other items decorated with logos for such drugs as Nexium, Vytorin and Lipitor.“The SMDC Health System found 18,718 items when it scoured its four hospitals and 17 clinics. The items filled 20 shopping carts and will be sent to the west African nation of Cameroon. Perhaps the first time that a shipment of medical waste will be welcomed in a Third World country.
This should be operating procedure for anyone with an MD.
