This is a small fry. The white whale is Purdue Pharma.
Which ‘Big Pharma’?
Are they out of their minds!
I get the feeling that sooner or later you are going to find the name Joe Manchin mixed-up in this grubby little scam.
Tip of the iceberg.
There are a lot of MURDER CHARGES that will be brought against that SOB
Color me shocked. Naw. Just kidding.

Doesn’t all drug companies do this? Giveaways to docs in the form of money, trips, and other goodies? That is the information I received from multiple medical sources.
I have several times suspected doctors of offering prescriptions because of incentives rather than for medical reasons. When I have that concern, I always get a second opinion, and I almost always find that the second doctor does not recommend any prescription at all or recommends a much milder alternative. I also stop going to that doctor if I disagree with a recommendation and the second opinion backs up my conclusion. Note: I’m about 60 years old and not on any regular prescriptions at all.

A relative was explaining to me how the large chain pharmacies charge a lot more (X6) for one prescription than her local drug store.
What I also find disturbing is the number of anti-depressants that are routinely prescribed for the normal stresses and anxieties of everyday life. We are becoming zombies. Our grandparents dealt with far more serious challenges and weathered storms with faith and family.
Diet and exercise - used to be home cooked fresh products and physical labor. Medicine was an aspirin!!!!
He is the El Chapo of the pharmaceutical industry.

Non-adictive alternative for chronic pain: Systemic Enzymes.
I was peripherally involved in this case as an SIU manager working on behalf of a major worker’s comp insurer. As it turned out, the lead FBI agent on the case is a good friend from college I hadn’t spoke to in many years.
