"But is it true that they [The Pharmaceutical Industry, PHARMA] bribe/encourage doctors to prescribe certain medicines?" Well, yes! They do! But that doesn't mean my friends are bad! I like what Shane has to say. I don't like the way he says it. I worked in PHARMA (GSK then Sanofi) for 12 years. They both treated me well. I think I was hired to piss people off. I did that! I have friends in PHARMA. Great ... Read more

Shane Ellison’s 10 Health Myths Revisited
I Agree 8/10 With Shane Ellison's Pharmaceutical Industry Products Myths Only Take These Drugs If There Is No Natural Alternative I took exception to Shane Ellison's video attack on my colleagues in the pharmaceutical industry (PHARMA). I blogged my objections, under the title, "A Masters Degree In Science! In Defense Of My Colleagues In PHARMA." This generated somewhat hostile responses from certain ... Read more
The Best Defenses Against Sports Injuries And Business Challenges Are Your Mind And Your Heart
Hi folks, The world is always changing, and I've seen a few such changes. Take the article shown on the right (click for detail) and the poster below, who would have believed it in 1952. The race was on to unscramble the genetic code, involving the world's best scientists back then. Now we have kids making 'Lego' models of the double helix. Then came computers and all the rest (I wonder what is ... Read more
In Defense Of Shane Ellison? Don’t Think I Can But I Might Be Wrong, Who Knows?
Hi folks, You never want to start an arms race, or you end up like Alice and the Red Queen, moving faster but getting nowhere. I think I might have started such a race in the form of an undercurrent of hostility in a comment stream in response to a blog post I wrote a while ago. In fact, I have clearly irritated some people by countering arguments made by Shane Ellison about the 'drug industry.' If you want the ... Read more

Be A FitOldDog This blog, and the FitOldDog brand, were created in direct response to a major health challenge. An abdominal aortic aneurysm, detected as a result of odd things happening during the 2010 Lake Placid Ironman. I was 67 years old at the time, and fit as fiddle! This precipitated my departure from a 40-year career as a veterinary pathologist and researcher. A career I had enjoyed immensely. Having ... Read more
A Dream Of Running And A Dead Mouse, plus “Remember, just say no to statins!”
Hi folks, welcome! If this blog post doesn't make a lot of sense, it's because I'm still in a post-surgical drug-induced fog. Maybe I should try reading Ulysses again, right now? Yes! I'll give it another try.

Fear Of The Foley And Selecting Wisely From Amongst Critical Health Options – FitOldDog Seeks Advice From Those Who’ve Been There
Hi folks, welcome to my thoughts (maybe some feelings, but I'm English and can't admit to that!). I had an interesting visit to the endovascular surgeon today, as a result of which I clearly have to decide between three major approaches to surgical correction for my growing abdominal aortic aneurysm and stent graft displacement, the best of which sounded like an open repair. Thought I'd run my benefit/risk ... Read more
