655am (2-B). 825am (1-SB). 955am (1-B). 1240pm (2-B). 540pm (2-B). 820pm (2-B).
Up 530am: A mix of sun & clouds, breezy and temps to lower 60's.
I called Brewer and made an appointment for Buddy on Friday, 11/24/23 at 830am; Booster/ Wellness.
I called Dr. Ellison's office to let them know that I need the prescription filled today. They said they would 'expedite'.
Watched 'PAIN HUSTLERS' (Netflix). It's a fictional account of how a small drug company developed a radical and aggressive marketing strategy to sell cancer pain medication to patients who didn't need it. This a rather half-baked synopsis as to how the opioid crisis came about, but don't alcohol companies do the same thing? They market a dangerous and addictive drug to people who really don't need it; with Emily Blunt (also the executive producer), Chris Evans, Catherine O'Hara, Andy Garcia, and Jay Duplass. Filmed in Savannah and Atlanta, Georgia and Central Florida. "44" Metascore.
From Variety:
"Pain Hustlers takes an off-putting mock-documentary approach to this tragedy, focusing on a handful of sleazebag salespeople who bent the rules to incentivize doctors to prescribe Lonafin (the film’s fictional Subsys substitute) first for treating cancer pain, and later for conditions as mild as migraines.". ... "Money is dignity"...PHD- 'Poor, Hungry, Dumb'..."You sell what's in your bag"...
More 'THE NURSE' (Netflix). Link to the actual case in Denmark: It's getting late so I'll watch the last twenty minutes of this tonight.

1210pm: PC is 'Off' and plan is to walk Washington Park and then pick up the Tamsulosin.
1250pm- 235pm: Washington Park...Parkview, Wash.Pk southside, Lincoln, Monroe...picked up Tamsulosin & waited 10 minutes while they 'pulled it', Washington, behind McD's, across Monroe, Fairway, Kenyon, and down to 940; ALLMAN BROTHERS Live; KINKS Live.
Reading 'SLEEPLESS'
445pm: TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; more of DAN SODER on RICK GLASSMAN.
545pm: In the tub with 'SLEEPLESS' and listening to DAVID BOWIE-Ziggy Stardust Live'; LED ZEPPELIN- 'How The West Was Won'.
Finished 'THE NURSE' (Netflix). They didn't really try to give the 'bad' nurse any reason for the killings aside from the fact that she was addicted to the 'rush' of trying to save a life and enjoying the positive feedback from her colleagues. Maybe that's all some people need.
Began 'SANTO' (Netflix). Santo is an international drug smuggler (Spain/ Brazil) and engages in blood sacrifices to the god Utuk. Lurid and over-the-top, so I'm in.
