(186,631 posts)Orphan diseases/conditions are rare because of that theres little or no money in making drugs to treat or even cure them. Klugmans brother had a rare heart condition. The drug companies wouldnt even explore creating a treatment. Kligman used two episodes of Quincy to draw attention to this. One ended literally with CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES at the end. People did. Jack was one of the first celebrities to testify in front of Congress on a cause. Changes were made.
