One day//THE WHISTLEBLOWER: CONFESSIONS OF A HEALTHCARE HITMAN
John Jones wrote: One day .. you guys will be seen as being responsible for drugging an entire generation of children, like they drugged children in the victorian era with opium. At least the victorians were honest, but YOU had to invent an illness to justify your practices. And IF you are long enough on this earth to understand what you did, I hope you will find a way to make amends for the damage you *******s inflicted on others. My contempt for you is complete. There are a few of us who are standing up and not allowing this to happen. The forces aligned against us are fierce, and we are talking about BIG PHARMA and the IRON-FIST of the MEDICAL-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX!! But together we can stop this massive drugging juggernaut and turn the entire population over to that of time-tested real honest health care and away from the greed-head profit-mongers. Time is tight but I am 100% positive we WILL win the war against the Drug Terrorists and their minions. Proof-proof-proof, everybody is always yelling at the top of their lungs for proof, okay people, here it is: Peter Rost's THE WHISTLEBLOWER: CONFESSIONS OF A HEALTHCARE HITMAN "A drug company executive is about to blow the lid off the pharmaceutical industry. The anonymous writer is working on a book that will disclose 'a number of mind-numbing industry practices,' we're told, revealing 'everything from sex in the corner office to private investigators spying on employees, company phone surveillance, FBI investigations and financial shenanigans resulting in million-dollar payouts...."-New York Post (Page Six) The Whistleblower is that book. A number of books critical of the pharmaceutical industry have recently been published, but none has been an exposé written by a senior executive of the world's largest pharmaceutical company, Pfizer. The Whistleblower is at once an unmasking of how corporations take care of malcontents and a gripping story of one man's fight to maintain his family and his sanity. Until now, Dr. Rost's legal battle against Pfizer has not been disclosed, but his public efforts to legalize reimportation of drugs have been documented in hundreds of newspaper articles, from The New York Times, to the Washington Post, USA Today, and the Los Angeles Times. He has also participated in scores of radio and television interviews, from 60 Minutes to CNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX News programs. Journalists and news anchors have repeatedly asked how a senior drug company executive-a vice president at Pfizer-could speak out in favor of reimportation of drugs, against the wishes of his employer, and still have a job. The Whistleblower will shock everyone, whether they follow the news or not. It begins in 2003 when Pfizer takes over Pharmacia, where Dr. Rost worked, and details the insidious techniques Pfizer used to terminate more than 10,000 Pharmacia employees. It reveals illegal, and even criminal business practices at Pharmacia, which Rost brought to light during the Pfizer acquisition, resulting in the FBI, the FDA's Enforcement Division, the Justice Department, the New York State Attorney General, and the Securities and Exchange Commission all calling him in for questioning over the course of the following year. As the various cases moved forward, Dr. Rost became persona non grata at Pfizer. But in the post-Enron world of federal sanctions for retaliation against whistleblowers, he couldn't be fired or demoted, although he lost his department and was moved to an office next to corporate security. He is a department of one, a man whose job it is, in effect, to carry forward the cases against his employer. But most of all this is the story of one senior industry executive who set out to change the entire pharmaceutical industry for the better, fighting on the behalf of American consumers for lower priced drugs. To win this battle, he testified before Congress and wrote this book, which exposes the drug industry's darkest and most closely guarded secrets. The Whistleblower is powerful testimony. 1-933368-39-X Trade Paper Original 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Current Affairs & Politics 224pp. $14.95 The Whistleblower Confessions of a Healthcare Hitman By Peter Rost MD Click to buy: http://www.softskull.com/detailedboo...=1-933368-39-X #### About the author: Peter Rost was a vice president of marketing at Pfizer, the world's largest pharmaceutical company.
