Hi Nick!
>Or, conversely they are just being greedy and lazy because indeed there is far much more to be discovered?
I think it's just greed. Novel drugs are more expensive, more time-consuming and more difficult to develop than 'me too' drugs.
>Ibuprofen is *not* a steroid drug then?
No, it's not a steroid.
>Ed, to study to be a Pharmacist, how many years does it take to be fully qualified vs that of a doctor?...
Pharm - 5 years in the UK. 4 at uni.
Doc - 5 years at uni, followed by much more learning on the job.... and more exams!
>I bet you must have got some pretty good GCSE's in science subjects....
My GCSEs were good, I got 7 A*s and 3 As. I think I'm gonna drop out of uni though, I really don't like it, it gets me down.
Kind regards
