Hey there. So awards season has already started.

Good evening. And welcome to the 82nd Golden Globes, Ozympic's biggest night.

And okay, I did not watch the Golden Globes this year, but there is an awards show that's made basically just for nerds like me.

Hello everyone and welcome to the eighth annual Schrelli Awards.

The Schrelli Awards, named after the Pharma Bro Martin Schrelly.

Remember him?

He became famous, I mean infamous in 2015 when a company he ran took over the making of an old

drug called Deriprim. I mean, old, introduced in 1952, but it later became used to prevent a form

of pneumonia that people with HIV can develop. So Martin Schrelli jacked up the price from

$13.5 a pill to $750.

Rings a bell, right?

So who gives out awards named after that guy?

Answer, a health care think tank called the Lown Institute.

One of their big recent projects was ranking nonprofit hospitals by how much they do to earn their tax

exemptions. For instance, by giving out charity care. The Institute's president, Dr. Vakas Sani,

hosts the awards ceremony. So if this is your first time at the Schrelli Awards, this is our top

10 list of the most egregious examples of profiteering or dysfunction in health care.

I'm telling you, this is an awards show for nerds just like me. In fact, it's also like a celebration

of nerds kind of like me. Each one of the awful stories these awards are highlighting,

it was dug up and brought to light by journalists.

So this year, the journalist behind these stories will be receiving a Schrelli reporting award.

And I have one in my hand here.
