A few months ago, I heard an advertisement on the radio for a drug study for a compound like this. I never realized the gravity of non 24 syndrome until I took care of a blind patient. Mrs. Z. was always tired in therapy when I worked at Saintarama. This drug came a few years too late for her.
Here at the Hotel, we are fortunate that we have a blind rehabilitation program next door. It's really amazing what they do.
The thing that stunned me when I read this most recent article was this: "...wholesale cost (per capsule) for this drug is $324."
An enormous amount of money for folks who just want to be able to sleep at the right time.
Stay tuned!

Interesting rehab conference in June
If you rehab cancer patients on your rehab unit, you may want to check it out. This is going to be free and located at the NIH in Bethesda, MD.
I may have to see if I can escape to go!
That is all...super busy week. Lots more stories on tap, but will have to sit down long enough to process, then tell them.
