They set up compliance programs and tell the employees they have to report infractions as part of their job. If you do, they conduct a sham investigation, sweep everything under the carpet, and tell the employees to "shut up." If you don't comply, then they threaten you, fire you and make your life miserable. They don't want you to be honest and operate with integrity. They want you to sell drugs, regardless of the potential consequences for patients. All their talk is just lip service. I'd love to sahre my story!!

I thought the report was pretty damning stuff, and also poignant. It includes part of a note that Buse sent Nissen in 2005, after the publication by the latter concerning some of the potential problems of Avandia. Buse profusely praises Nissen and regrets his own (understandable) caving in. Given all at stake, and as a human document, there was plenty of climax there for me.
