DOCTOR Colbert -- On Crestor -- at 2:30 in this Video-Clip!


Me? I was most entertained by the "Crest-Vaxx" -- it elevates your cholesterol levels to the point that you're allowed to buy Crestor, for $100 a month -- for the rest of your life!

Note: I saw this over at Ed's a/k/a Pharmalot, this morning, who in turn saw it on the WSJ Health Blog. . . . The portion of this 5:13 Flash video clip most-relevant to the topics that this blog covers begins at about 2:30 -- on Crestor's "Jupiter" study (use the slider bar, at the bottom of the video feed):

HILARIOUS!



The more serious-minded among us may prefer to watch Dr. Harlan Krumholz, of Yale, and Dr. Mark Hlatky, of Stanford [featured in Colbert's report as the guy "who needs more Crestor pens"(!)], being interviewed by PBS's Ray Suarez, here. Cheers!
