KP17

I worked in government affairs division of a major pharmaceutical company. I usually create documentation and economic models that justify value of high price medicines. Anyways one day a jurisdiction came back to us saying they have noticed off label use and that they won't be funding them anymore. I worked tirelessly over two weeks to build out a medical review and economic model which showed it was better then the alternative. We came to an agreement on a discounted price and all parties were happy. However, I soon realized the company would provide compassionate use as they don't want to alter prescribing behaviour, I just took xx millions from a struggling public system... I did get a raise but quit shortly after.

Really appreciated the blog post going in detail on how someone in clinical practice thinkS through deep learning problem.
