The Whistleblower And The Drugmaker…… Tomorrow Morning In Pharmalot
2 CommentsBy Ed Silverman // June 25th, 2007 // 9:55 pm
No, this won’t be a serialized novel. Instead, there will be new information about a drugmaker’s internal investigation into unapproved detailing materials and improper funding of continuing medical education. The source: an employee who witnessed the alleged activities first-hand, provided documentation and now claims retaliation.
The first of a few such installments runs tomorrow. At a time when there is growing controversy over pharma’s behind-the-scenes promotional practices, this episode is a reminder of the tension that can exist among pharma employees as they struggle to generate profits, keep their jobs and, in some cases, try to put patients first.
So stop by in the morning….

I can’t wait! Hope there will be many more!

Hear hear.
I would urge all Big Pharma employees who are sick of their employers shenanigans to do the right thing and blow the whistle.
This can be more easily done now with the help of people like Peter and Ed, who Insider views as being part of the solution.
