[Leica] Leica SM sighting on TV

[Howard Ritter]

I believe I caught a glimpse of that but I couldn’t ID the camera and I don’t recall the drug. I try to avoid commercials for drugs, because the only ones worth the cost of advertising are hyperexpensive ones. As a retired haematologist-oncologist who used to prescribe some of the most expensive drugs on the market, I have little but contempt for Big Pharma’s extortionate, predatory pricing opportunism, and nothing but contempt for the practice of advertising them to the general public in order to use patients as levers to get doctors to prescribe what the company wants them to. Only New Zealand among the rest of the world allows such advertising.

But if you recall the name of the drug, I’ll try to remember not to mute the screen and go back to the NYT Sunday Crossword as soon as it comes on!
