Anaphylaxis

The firm in which I purchase goods from would be Mylan, the company that produces the EpiPen auto-injector (EpiPen, 2016). The EpiPen is a medical device that is able to provide immediate medicine in the form of adrenaline to help individuals suffering from an allergic reaction in emergency situations (EpiPen, 2016). Ultimately, without the Epi Pen many individuals would be unable to recover from such severe allergic reactions (Newman, 2016). Within the last nine years, the EpiPen has gone from…

Concealed Strengths Which Show Case the Obvious Rich Eisenauer, my former Sunday School teacher of two years, is my adult fan. For the past few years, Mr. E has been much more of a Sunday School teacher to me; he has been a mentor and father figure who has helped me overcome some of my biggest challenged.

The United States drug regulations are a joke. The only developed country I 've heard about that allows monopolies in the pharmaceutical world.

My final recommendation to EpiPen is to hire a great team of lawyers and new accountants. They should employee forensic, government and cost accountants, as wells as an auditor to go through the financials. These types of accounts will dig through the financial reports and find where the company is liable. The cost accountant will develop viable reasons for the price increase by conducting a profitability analysis. They will examine all of the direct and indirect cost related to the company. The…

This week’s journal entry serves the purpose of analyzing the Mylan healthcare’s website on anaphylaxis, and compare it with best practices for usability, accessibility, credibility, and consistency, as I would if I were a member of a communications department at Mylan healthcare. The web is an important medium of communication as it combines all types of other communication which came before it (Lester, 2012). As other forms of media, the web can also be a valuable resource for information and…

Many people state the phrase “ I understand “ or “ Can’t you just do this?” when it comes down to listening to someone explaining their problems. My mother heard these phrases every single time she tried to explain her allergy. Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening generalized or systemic hypersensitivity reaction, which is characterized by being rapid in onset with life threatening circulatory problems. We could never truly understand someone’s experience unless you lived through it or are…
