I have seen them cuddle together and in low voices make their evil plans and schemes.<BR/>I have seen them cuddle with corrupt doctors and in same mob-like way make deals with them to push thier drugs off label and make false claims and so on.<BR/>The thing about these (mainly) men and some (few) women is that they are perfectly honest, decent, family people who when put in charge of some level of big pharma management, turn into, you guessed it - mobsters. <BR/>They would do anything to advance thier Co's goals. Anything includes the misconduct which in every big pharma is part of their business model/approach. Once they go home to their families or girlfrends, they make a complete transformation into a perfectly normal honest person. In this state they would not hurt a fly let alone deprive someone of their living by termination for cause or no cause. <BR/>Those who can not stomach this approach for they thought everything is nice and honest in this formally known as "ethical business", get thrown out or leave very early.<BR/>If they come forward as this gent did and many more, they still get thrown out and retaliated against. In that other (real) mob you know what happens - you never leave alive, but you know what you are getting into.<BR/>Pharmalot had a post re what pharma reps think of thier jobs and how many would recommend it to their friends. Now you see why 72 % would not. <BR/>The real people are still OK. Once they enter the bigpharmaland, they can go either way.<BR/>It is in esence thier choice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28269263.post-69465757680282170922007-05-16T15:58:00.000-04:002007-05-16T15:58:00.000-04:00Also: Isn't the bribing of foreign officials, tax ...Also: Isn't the bribing of foreign officials, tax authorities etc by US companies a violation of the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act?

I can only begin to understand how much you must have suffered. And how much your family must be suffering to see you in such pain. In my humble opinion, you did the right thing, the brave thing, and the only thing (IMO) that you could have done. You have my deepest respect. Thank you for exposing Pfizer for the unfortunately off course company that it is.<BR/><BR/>Love and Peace,<BR/><BR/>Dr. BK<BR/><BR/>PS.

They are not interested in Scandinavian countries for it would be to hard to do their schemes that obviously cover every aspect of their business not only the marketing and selling.<BR/>Is there an end or limit to the big pharma's misconduct and is there anyone or anything that can stop them?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28269263.post-14392961430278011482007-05-16T14:07:00.000-04:002007-05-16T14:07:00.000-04:00Ouch!!

However it does reflect poorly on the NY brass, in that they are not overseeing things well. Also looks like this guy was clearly retaliated against - even though he was trying to prevent waste.<BR/><BR/>Not sure how different this plant was compared to the one they sold later (with NY oversight)...but that one fetched Rs 278 crore (which I believe works out to Rs 2780 million or about 22 times the value of the Hyderabad plant at Rs 122 million) (Source: http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2007/03/17/stories/2007031705450300.htm)<BR/><BR/>Though a plant could be more valuable for a lot of other reasons, the Hyderabad plant had 188 employees (http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/8699650.cms) where as the Chandigarh plant had 88 employees (http://www.blonnet.com/2004/04/27/stories/2004042702640100.htm). Yet the Hyderabad plant only sold for Rs 122 million ($3million) where as the Chandigarh one sold for Rs 2780 million($68 million)...Definitely smells like bad old Indian corruption to me. <BR/><BR/>Expat Indian in the USAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
