"For me the real question right now isnt should I be waiting to sell..but should I be finding more money to put in?"
Greed kills.
Not sure who said that first, but I think it is good advice.

Endo. “Yes,and its much easier now.. your plan may cover it immediately or there is a simple PA we need to do. Hang on tick , we will do a simple spiro test to confirm you can use it, and if so you are on your way. Please excuse my ignorance, but I have no idea what "hang on tick" refers to.  ? |

You could replace 'hang on tick' with 'pause for a moment'. |

Off topic, but I think most American patients would be bewildered and perhaps offended if an endo said "hang on tick" (Patient: Was this doc calling me a tick?). Is it a British expression? |

nylefty.. apologies.. i am a bit idiom challeged.. please substitute 'wait a moment'.
My lost intent was to point out that Castagna seems to be refining each step of the onboarding transaction and figuring out how to streamline it. Something that was never clear with the launch last year.

FWIW I've heard 'hang on a tick' hundreds of times (here in North America), but never 'hang on tick'. lowres.jantoo.com/farming-meat-abbatoirs-murder-3_little_pigs-pig-11801890_low.jpg |

I suspect that it's a regionalism. I've lived in San Francisco, Washington (DC), and New York and don't remember hearing anybody say "hang on tick" or "hang on a tick."

Could be a typo. If I heard someone say "Hang on a tick" I would assume they meant a tick of a clock or a second. There are still clocks that "tick". I think they've even created aps with that sound so a digital clock sound like an old fashioned mechainical clock. |

I understood it to be a possible technosphere candidate for tick bites.

Actually, I think the proper way to say it is, "Hang on a tick, bro."  |

I expect its just a typo for the (to my mind) very British expression already mentioned ie hang on a tick, or 'just a tick'. It only takes half a mo to explain that a tick is barely more than just a jiffy over here across the pond.  |

That is correct Facts. American version is "hang on a second". Yep tick like one tick of the clock.
Ah the subtleties of language. Origins of sayings are interesting and many use without even knowing. Like "sleep tight". Well refers to Shakespearian age when mattresses were tied to a four post bed, the tighter the firmer. Or one of my favs when adults tell kids to mind their P's and Q's. Well again 15th century bartender reprimanding routy customers by yelling mind your Pints and Quarts.

Or one of my favs when adults tell kids to mind their P's and Q's. Well again 15th century bartender reprimanding routy customers by yelling mind your Pints and Quarts. I agree that origins are interesting, but I suspect many if not most of the origins that get bandied about are best guess and / or urban legends. Sadly, the bartender theory doesn't seem to hold water. www.snopes.com/language/phrases/pqs.asp"At the time the saying became part of the English lexicon, beer wasn't vended in pubs by the pint or quart. Instead, it was drawn from kegs, with patrons charged by the glass or tankard." Sleep tight has its own problems: www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/sleep-tight.html"There aren't many other known citations until the early 20th century and the OED lists none until 1933, by which time the innerspring mattress had been invented and most mattresses were supported by metal straps or springs. This puts the phrase out of general circulation at the date that rope-strung beds were commonly used, which makes the rope-stringing origin unlikely at best." |

Cash is the reason. In hindsight MNKD should have went alone after FDA approval. They would have had the cash to get Afrezza off & running. I am not sure if I can agree with that.. Sanofi put quite a bit of money on the table.. Assuming this 2nd round has a bigger success, who can tell that this isnt the result of the previous effort and no one would have gotten it flying faster!? Sanofi did Afrezza a good service by keeping it alive for that time This is utter nonsense. Sanofi sandbagged Afrezza, almost from day one, certainly from mid-summer on. They nearly killed the product and the company and poisoned the well on the way out the door. Nothing good came from that partnership. I wish Sanofi nothing but heartache and hurt. Perhaps we'll receive a claw back parting gift - don't hold your breath. |

Sanofi's defamation going out the door should be worth several 100 million alone and should not be covered by any waiver in the agreement.
