A man describes how Accutane cleared his severe acne and transformed his confidence and social life. He tried to contact the drug's original inventor, only to learn he had died, and the patent was owned by Hoffmann-La Roche.

I had terrible acne growing up, and I started taking Accutane, and my skin cleared up, and it literally changed my life. It just changed my life. And not only because people were more attracted to me and I started having sex, which was a wonderful thing in my life, but I just felt so much better about myself. And still to this day, I was at a gas station and the gas attendant had just terrible acne, and I'm like, take this as you want, I don't mean to offend you, but have you heard there's great drugs for this? So I'm out there basically trying to prescribe as an unlicensed doctor. Um, I found a guy who invented it, this guy who sold the patent to Hoffmann-La Roche, and I tried to write him a letter and they're like, well, he's dead, but we appreciate the letter. Um, anyways.
