What is the likely result of Sen. Grassley's investigation? A denial of coverage for VNS (for TRD) from the medicare/medicade programs?
 
I'm not sure, but there may be far reaching reprocussions. It's more about the way the FDA handled the process. If a drug had this kind of low effective rate and number of side effects, it would never be allowed on the market. Medical devises use a different standard. There are inconsistencies.
