interviewing possibly and wondering what salary expectations are and whether or not this would be somewhat of a safe move. Coming from big pharma
The whole idea of Rex for use in patients with agitation in dementia is nuts. Seroquel is a
very small fraction of the cost of Rex and works better with exactly the result the nurse wants. Who cares whether or not the patient in a nursing home or with dementia is "functioning"? Since when do they have to?
Patients in a nursing home are there to die. Until they do, their only function is to breathe, eat, sleep and excrete bad things (not necessarily in that order) out of any opening of their body.
Besides, the nurse in a nursing home has probably 30 patients to take care of, and the last thing she wants is someone calling her to change his or her diapers. So if they sleep and are laying in their own excrements so be it. That's the reality. Anything else is wishful thinking.
And to think that you, walking in with Rex will accomplish anything, is total BS. If you were successful, all it would do is increase the cost of Medicare even more and not result in one iota of improved health care.
Of course, Otsuka couldn't care less...
