A TRUE EXAMPLE OF UNETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICEUS drugmaker Pfizer will pay a massive $USD 2.3bn (£1.4bn) fine in the largest healthcare fraud settlement in the history of the Department of Justice. A subsidiary of the firm was found guilty of illegally promoting four drugs for uses which had not been approved by medical regulators.
This link is an amazing interview with John Kopchinski - the Pfizer employee who 'blew the whistle' on Pfiser. In it he describes the unethical and illegal practices used by the firm to sell its products.
Mr Kopchinski's decision to tell the authorities what his bosses asked him to do cost him his job... but this article tells you that it all ended OK for him!
