[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should set up the Sackler Prize for Medical Advancement and Innovation with a $1 Billion grant from their profits.

Problem solved - just like the guy who invented dynamite set up the Nobel Prize.[/quote]

The advancement should be to train physicians, physician’s assistants, and nurse practitioners to prescribe suitable medication rather than a “shut them up and make them go away” medication.  Also the rating systems for hospitals should be changed.  They are rated on patients reporting of pain.  Sometimes pain is good because it tells how a body is healing.  OxyContin masks pain so that patients report pain free hospitalization.

The Sacklers provided the solution to sloppy medical care. [/quote]

Funding and donations to individual hospitals traditionally go to lining the doctors pockets.

I'd rather they set up a separate foundation which awards prizes to innovative chemists, medical researchers, and trained scientists who are thinking of solutions to the world's greatest problems - HIV/AIDS, malaria, ebola, cancer(s), the flu, Alzheimer etc.

The prize and money would also go a long way towards encouraging medical researchers to release cures rather than focus on short-term patch solutions for extending life.[/quote]
