Download Blood Feud: The Man Who Blew the Whistle on One of the Deadliest Prescription Drugs Ever AudioBook Free
Blood-boosting Procrit is Johnson & Johnson's biotech superstar. Behind its various brand names, it rates as Medicare's most reimbursed medication. But Procrit carries out frighteningly well, and can activate so many bloodstream cells that thousands of patients die in unexplained and agonizing ways. And that's not all: Cancer tumor patients, who often obtain injections, are never warned that the medication stimulates tumor progress, too, prompting one leading hematologist to dub it "Miracle-Gro for cancer". While patients have no idea about the risks behind this improperly tested medication, Johnson & Johnson sales rep Mark Duxbury is aware precisely what is going on - the pharma behemoth is blatantly marketing overdoses of the medication. Duxbury attempts to alert his superiors and it is required to testify in a magic formula court about illegal plans. But his honesty costs him his job. Humiliated and disregarded for a long time, Duxbury is in the end betrayed in a shockingly cruel way. The subconscious stress drives him to try suicide, yet he fights on for many more years until the heartbreaking end. A Civil Action's Jan Schlichtmann has considered on the situation, and is back in federal district judge in Massachusetts. And all the while, Johnson & Johnson has continuing to force sales of Procrit. Blood vessels Feud is award-winning journalist Kathleen Sharp's nail-biting expose of the Procrit circumstance. Packed with corporate espionage, plot twists, and larger-than-life characters, it's as gripping as it is terrifyingly true.
