Looking beyond the spin of Big Pharma PR. But encouraging gossip. Come in and confide, you know you want to! “I’ll publish right or wrong. Fools are my theme, let satire be my song.”

Digital Pharma: Novo Nordisk's online ethics tools | InPharm
Novo talk and talk about ethics, cos' they have so much hide.
Experimenting on children in India ealry 90s in illegal growth hormone trials
Massive phoney observational (PRESENT, SOLVE)trials througout 3rd World where the patients pick up the tab after the dr. got a kickback for a 'safety study'
NovoSeven sold to Colombia at more than 2x the US price
I haven't worked through all of the cases on the site yet, but it will be interesting to see if there are any which address conflict of interest issues or profit motives.
There _is_ a difference between providing a teaching tool for other people and making sure your own employees, contractors, and allies have actually been taught and now hold themselves to higher standards!
