My Nurse friends encounter w/ a Diabetic Pt in Israel

[lynn]

I just got off the phone w/ a friend I've known for 20 + years , we live in different states & don't get to chat that often as life is busy , but she's one of those people that you resume conversation as if not a day has passed , (so I will disclose that I am notorious for long stories,) she reconverted to becoming Catholic ( I personally don't believe in organized religion however I consider myself to be very Spiritual so let's not open that can of worms ) I respect everyone for their personal beliefs & everyone is entitled to them .

But get THIS !! She went on a Pilgrimage to Israel about 2 weeks ago & was designated as the "Administer of health for the Pilgrims" she's a RN w/ her masters degree , so I told her about Afrezza , Mannkind ect , & she said " that's so ironic , I met a Diabetic ( mid 60's wealthy female orig from NY but now resides in Miami ) who was talking about this !! She noticed that the woman was on an insulin pump ( & she mentioned a patch , perhaps the Basal insulin patch Al has talked about ??) who knows .. But my friend remembered her saying that she couldn't wait for a new inhaled drug to be approved so she could use it .. Take this w/ a grain of salt as I'm telling you this is a true story , but I'm posting this based on her recollection as she has never bought a stock & was there for her personal reasons , but as a Nurse , when I told her about this , she said " wow that's funny that you would mention that " which leads back to the beginning of my story .. I think the word is spreading amongst the Diabetics out there , I'm hoping our only issue will be can the supply meet the demand ? & that's not a bad problem to have ... & my friend now is int in buying shares for her kids .. Today is my Sunday as I work the next 2 days , but I wanted to share the universe works in mysterious ways & I literally felt chills when she told me that

Lynn,

It's not surprising the wealthy woman that your friend met in Israel knew about Afrezza. The clue is that she now lives in Miami. Well, I don't think Spiro would mind if I mentioned to you that he now hangs out near Bloomingdales, Saks and Nordstrom, wearing a sandwich board with the name of the company, the stock symbol, a one month chart, and a picture of Al Mann sucking on a Dreamboat (can you imagine what goes through people's minds when they see this?). He works those areas incessantly, dutifully marching up and down, and I'm confident that's how the woman discovered Afrezza (he may have even valeted her car). He used to work South Beach, but got jostled by a couple of Cuban guys who thought he was cute; he immediately changed venues to concentrate on the blue-haired crowd.

So, good going, Spiro, your campaign is apparently working! (The guy does it all!)

baba,

Reading your post I spit out my coffee as I was laughing so hard.

I was amused by it even though I've been stuck at Heathrow for 4 hours because they couldn't find a part for our plane. There isn't much that can amuse me under such circumstances, so that says something...

it's amazing how much a man has to do to help make his friends wealthy. Baba left out my most effective technique. i pass out MNKD flyers at the busiest intersection in Miami. Sometimes I have to fight some homeless hippies for a good spot. I even clean a few windshields for guys wearing business suits. Some of the nurses driving by will hand me a $20 bill occasionally.

Spiro accepts cash only to buy MNKD stock or MNKD stock. Period. If you give him a sandwich while he's panhandling he's not interested. Beware. He might throw it in your face.

Chris, I've heard that Spiro would never turn down a good pastrami sandwich or a bagel with lox and cream cheese. But, they would probably have to give him a kosher pickle also.
