Compassionate use for someone who has no compassion? If it was Trump, it didn't work. I wonder what those other conditions are.
@arstechnica “It is currently in late-stage trials to treat obesity, diabetes, sleep apnea, and other conditions.”
Well, it sure the hell isnt working for sleep apnea. That’s pretty apparent.
@arstechnica “who requested it on behalf of a patient with refractory obesity, obstructive sleep apnea, and pulmonary hypertension, which is high blood pressure in the lungs. “
Explains why he keeps telling us how great of shape he’s in all the time.
