People generally come out of such experiences in one of two ways. Some, like Albright, develop an aggressive moralism and idealism, pledging "never again" to let the world turn a blind eye to atrocities.

Beyond that, orlistat isn't dramatically effective by itself. All the patients in the double-blind study went on strict eating regimens and exercise programs. Half of them were given orlistat, and half got an inert placebo.
