(These included a calcium-channel blocker and an ACE inhibitor). Then there's the sad lesson of Vioxx and its ilk. That category of painkillers captured a $5 billion-a-year market on the celebrated promise that they were safer than older, cheaper analgesics like Tylenol or Advil.

...sad fact is that most graduate students simply cannot afford dental insurance or necessary dental care. The majority of graduate students are either taking out enormous loans to finance their post-baccalaureate education or must support themselves and their families on less than $20,000 a year. Faced with a choice of spending their limited funds on rent or for an oral checkup, most students forego a trip to the dentist and hope that problems will not arise or can be ignored.
