Dear "Fair Market Value"
Gratitude to Dispense Times
I want to thank Dispense Times Magazine for doing something bold, necessary, and deeply personal for me and for the entire patient community.
They published my article, "Fair Market Value Can Go F*** Itself."
In a world where the patient voice gets sanitized, softened, or shoved into a token 15-minute breakout panel, this pharmacy trade magazine put my middle finger to the system on page 16, front and center, between the PBM exposés and the GLP-1 compliance minefields.
Publishing my article uncensored, unedited, and unafraid wasn't just editorial bravery. It was a declaration of solidarity with every patient, survivor, and caregiver who's ever been told their trauma is worth $75 an hour. Or "great exposure." Or nothing at all.
Pharmacists have always been the unsung heroes. They deal with everyone's mess: doctors, insurers, paperwork, exploding copays, angry customers, and god-awful middle managers. They are the last thread holding American healthcare together with duct tape and generics. And yet, they rarely get to lead the conversation.
To the pharmacists, editors, and advocates at Dispense: you didn't blink. You amplified our voice and proved that collaboration between patients and pharmacy isn't just possible—it's powerful.
