Hey Hunter -

I hope you're doing well.

A very sick and elderly sounding woman from Baltimore named Joi Shaivitz called the firm today asking for both pro bono representation and to be connected to you to discuss access to medicines in emergency rooms in the United States. She apparently has MS, is disabled, and can only take natural rather than synthetic insulin. She almost died when she went to an ER that only had synthetic insulin, I think, and she is claiming that she should be able to sue someone (not sure who) because someone (not sure who) recently prohibited her from importing natural insulin from the UK. She wanted to talk with you because she thinks Congress and the VP need to know about this problem. She went on for a lengthy period of time - she does not seem to be all there, mentally. In all events, I committed to her that I would TRY to pass on her information to you. I made no promises of anything else. Her name is above, and her home phone number (she is indigent so she has no cell phone and has no computer access for email) is 443-394-8117.

For what it's worth, I don't think our firm could represent her given the very few people we have who are barred in Maryland, but that's another matter.

Best,

Mike
