I don’t trust BigPharma and neither does my dear friend, a graduate pharmacist who worked for a BigPharma company, took doctors on Hawaiian vacations to persuade them to prescribe more drugs.
Friend and I avoid pharmaceuticals and take a lot of nutritional supplements to stay well, rather than getting sick and needing drugs.
No doctor in at least 20 years has been taken on a pharmacy junket due to federal law. It just aint true at least in the last two decades.
What this company did was reprehensible as the few when taking all doctors in total did by writing bogus prescriptions. They not only harmed those that became addicted, which I don't understand as I have been on Opioids for decades but do know there Are many people with addictive personalities, they also harmed untold numbers of long term pain sufferers who have had their pain meds severely restricted due to the 'war on opioids'.
Pharm reps live a very good life.....every one of them enjoy a big lifestyle, all tax deductible.
