i don't recall dispensing this one you've illustrated... hmmm... haven't worked since mid-Feb '21... maybe it's new? or not popular bc so many generic quinolones on market... were you in drug sales or something pHARMa related?

wanna see that hip replacement illustration 🙂

I was never in pharma sales (I've always been in publishing); but I was Associate Editor of peer-reviewed medical journals ("peer review": what a joke!); and I edited the newsletter of a Canadian NAMI organization ( nami dot org , National Alliance on Mental Illness), which may have started with good intentions but evolved into YET ANOTHER pharma-funded, pharma-shilling front. Years after I wrote and edited for that organization I researched psychiatry and learned the shitshow of lies and corruption of psychiatry.

wow... now i remember! ty for the review! ugh... I'm glad you have picked pHARMa drugs to illustrate. i miss believing pHARMa drugs could help people... and your posts are "friendly" and "interactive" to my post-covid brain...

if you wanna challenge, maybe you could try putting your skills to this: illustrate Steve Kirsch's substack posts??? could you??? I'd find some $ and pay to see his posts illustrated! just a thought.... no pressure... DREAMING BIG! i just saw a comment requesting a more concise version and a picture is worth a thousand words... and i can't process it all, as i would like!!! ss can be INTENSE... ty for letting me rant 😉

Have you seen my Totalitarianism A-Z? (I probably need to move it into its own section. I published it before I knew we could create sections.)

Kirsch would need to want that himself. I'll illustrate anything for cash! If I grow my Substack I'll ask for funds here, but I don't have enough subscribers.

In the meantime, I'm glad you've enjoyed the pHARMa A-Z (only one more post left of it). I always wanted to cover pharma (from when I started illustrated alphabets on Instagram) but never found the right angle. Covid and killshots served up the right angle! It's a corrupt dumpster fire of global proportions.

maybe TMI, but back in 2001, Zyprexa did "save my brain" once... oddly enough... had my hubby overseas for a year, after i returned from a visit after the first 6 months, i was told i had a sort of "heart attack" of my brain (no clots involved)... after that i got my pHARMd in 2009, so it definitely worked, although i gained alot of weight, after losing a lot of weight... i could go on and on ... everybody has a story to tell...

The next time I see a 'Brain Summit'-type series I'll let you know. These online gatherings are filled with amazing clinicians and researchers, and they're always free to view once (or available to buy and keep at reasonable cost). I've watched more summits over the past 15ish years than I can recall. The ACTUAL experts are amazing.

it's a little tedious to find them all... if you could make it a separate list? (seems like my impaired brain can get thru anything with pictures... 😉) i made it to "F" so far... AMAZING STUFF!!!

(I suspect I'll separate them into their own section. I agree, too busy for me, too. Wasn't clear I could make sections when I set up my Stack.)

I'm sure you have other things to do... no pressure!
