Vai piorar, eu avisei Essa é a m…da decadência do ensino, excesso de universidades em todas as áreas e professores que militam mais do que propagam conhecimento dentro de suas áreas, esse é o resultado. Triste

Quando eu reclamo da nota ZERO das uniesquinas de medicina o povo fala que eu só to fazendo reserva de mercado, quando na verdade esse aí é o resultado óbvio desse processo de favelização da medicina. Quem sobra é sempre o afegão médio.

The Woman Who Said “No” and Saved a Generation ​In 1960, a 46-year-old pharmacologist named Dr. Frances Oldham Kelsey started her first day at the FDA. Within five weeks, she was handed an application that seemed like a "formality." ​The drug was Kevadon (Thalidomide). It was already a massive success in Europe, marketed as a "wonder drug" for pregnant women suffering from morning sickness. Most expected her to sign off immediately. ​But Frances felt something wasn't right. ​She noticed the clinical data was vague. There was almost no evidence showing how the drug affected a developing fetus. While the pharmaceutical company, Richardson-Merrell, pressured her to rush the approval, she stood her ground. ​The Pressure Was Suffocating ​For 19 months, the company relentlessly hounded her. They: ​Visited her office over 50 times. ​Called her "unreasonable" and "stubborn." ​Complained to her supervisors, trying to go over her head. ​Had doctors write letters demanding she release the drug. ​Can you imagine the weight on her shoulders? A new employee standing up to a corporate giant and an entire industry. But her mantra was simple: "Show me the data." ​A Devastating Discovery ​By November 1961, the world’s worst fears came true. In Germany and Australia, babies were being born with Phocomelia—severe limb malformations. Some were born with flipper-like hands attached to their shoulders; others had no limbs at all. ​Thousands of babies were born with these deformities, and thousands more were stillborn. Thalidomide was the cause. ​The Silent Hero ​Because Dr. Kelsey refused to be bullied, the damage in the United States was largely contained. She didn't just do her job; she protected the future. ​On August 7, 1962, President John F. Kennedy awarded her the President’s Award for Distinguished Federal Civilian Service. She was only the second woman to ever receive it. ​We often talk about "changing the world." Dr. Kelsey changed it with one word: No. ​Sometimes, being "stubborn" is the most heroic thing you can be. ​What do you think of Dr. Kelsey's story? Does it inspire you to stand firm in your convictions, even when the world is pushing back?
