It would be funny if NOW after reading this thread, sales reps from SNY (or LLY or NOVO) show up at Dr. Walt's clinic. You'll inform us if that happens won't you, sportsrancho?

Based on what I heard from Mike C. today from the conference, most doctors were told that Afrezza was being pulled from the market. Now where could those doctors have heard such a thing. Hmmmmmm. Could it have been Sanofi reps executing a "scorched earth" approach to the partnership wind down. What you suggest above is not that far fetched IMHO.

Sports, thanks for getting the word out. We need to all band together to get Afrezza known to the world. If we each do a small part, we can reach millions.

Well, AFAIC, the entire Sanofi ordeal has never passed the smell test. The actual story will be revealed eventually. In this age, secrets get told. If you look at the historical script numbers, a plateau was reached that looks like a plug was pulled very early in the game. An interesting question is when did MNKD management begin to wonder what SNY was doing behind the scenes?

Dr. Walt Combs is the doctor that owns Rancho Medical that the gym I work in is inside of. Walt had told me that he never saw a SNY rep! So I was on the bike this morning and Walts on the treadmill. He has a real fat man with him. He starts telling the fat man how I lost all that weight on my own with out surgery. I talked to the man awhile and then I told Walt about how MNKD has their own reps now! He starts telling the man who is also a diabetic about Afrezza. The man says, that sounds to good to be true? Walt says, we have been waiting years for this! And all about how he himself hates shots! Then about how fast acting it is. Then I had a thought: I went and got my cell and had Walt listen to the A Kowalski ( JDRF ) 2min cut video. On how Afrezza is astounding but MNKD is in trouble. He listened and then said OK! ( Have MNKD call me right away and send a local rep out! I have 35 doctors working for me and we are having a diabetic conference in 6 weeks. I want the rep to come and give a talk on Afrezza.) I said, great:-)) And then you can start writing scrips and be on the early adapters list of prescribing doctors! (( Happy Dance)) I just tweeted Mike and he said, we are on it!! Totally brilliant!

MNKD reps should find a way to play Kowalski video to their Endos too. I would challenge my fellow MNKD longs to come up with a way that is not offensive to Endos and tweeted it to MC.
If I were an MNKD rep, this is what I would do and say in a visit to an Endo. Hi Doctor, you know who Kowalski is, right? Here is what he says.(Play the video). If you are interested, you will encounter the following difficulties getting patients on Afrezza.(lung test, dosing, insurance and etc). I am here to help you resolve those difficulties.

Well, this is probably, no, it is the best posting I have read in awhile about Afrezza!! Way to go girl!! This is classic word of mouth, person to person, best sales method in history.. People sell people! And if you dont have someone out there that believes in what they represent, job does not get done successfully!!
If everyone follows through now on your leads at this Dr. office, it has a major influence on your neighborhood on how people react to Afrezza going forward. Just imagine now if your effort were magnified across the country by people who care enough to build bridges with their caregivers and just spread the word on all the good health results from so many Afrezza users over the past year!!
This effort flies or dies in just a matter of a few months ahead of us!! And it is entirely upon Mike C. and his new team to pull it off!!

Thank you ALL for your support! I can't tell you how charismatic this doctor is in person! If they send the right people out to give a presentation ( and I'm sure they will:-))) And Walt gets on board, everyone around him will jump on board also! GL to the MNKD team!! sports
