'It's a miracle': Boy treated with $3m drug donated by public can now walk with support

[Yorkshire]

The drug is for the very rich because of patient and to cover the cost of R&D and development. So the drug may not be expensive but only the rick can afford. This is what it means when private sector is tasked with drug development.

Its not a miracle. If you spend $3 million and it doesn't work, its a failure.

$3 million is more than what many could earn in an entire lifetime.....

need to have a way to make healthcare affordable or free for all

It’s not a miracle if $3 million worth of therapy was used.

Notice the bill is always $3M now? The previous baby also $3M

I love it that you posted this statement in a medical thread.

 

[CSNation]

Ain't a miracle.

But it is science, hard working docs and big money. I am happy it worked for the child and hope it brings joy to the family.

But like all such complicated drugs and surgeries, success isn't always high.

pretty crazy a SINGLE treatment can cure it

The disease is due to a defective SMN1 gene. The treatment requires the virus to inject the SMN1 gene into the chromosome to correct the defective gene.
