Man: Intrusive government oversight & regulation is an impediment to all manner of growth.
Rx Compounding Labs

Fungus: I can't argue with that.
This story is just one more example of why intelligently designed and enforced regulation of industries that effect the environment, safety, and personal health is so necessary. Poorly drafted regulation does impede safe growth, but poorly regulated companies too often put profits over life. I loved the movie Erin Brokavich and the part where lawyers for the company being sued reach for a glass of water. “Are you thirsty? I had that flown in special for you.” The lawyers left the water alone.This story stands alone as tragic. When placed alongside Love Canal, BP Oil Spill, Massey Mines, and too many others…its nearly insulting to our nation. This company who compounded the drugs to make their product will simply go bankrupt, a small amount of money will be paid out, and those responsible will go to trial. If history is to be our guide, they will never do any time.My wife had steno sis in her lumbar and received a shot for it six weeks before this story came to light. We are assured the drug she received was from another source. It was still a bit scarey until we talked to the doctor.Respectfully,C.
