...starting at the top. Do we have ONE leader that has the guts to stand up, take responsibility and speak some truth about the shitshow that is now Cardinal Health? Where is the integrity and accountability? Bunch of cowards hiding in their ivory towers. Disgraceful.
Zero talent. Largest group of collective selfish assholes. Run for the hills. Not even a college grad would work here. Resume killer.
Do you think "integrity" resides at a company that took such a greedy and prominent role in the opioid distribution scandal?!
Speaking of Cardinals “prominent” role in the opioid distribution scandal, anyone else excited and can’t wait for them to be completely destroyed in federal court later this month?
Hogwash. 1. Cardinal writing scripts? 2. Cardinal handing to patients ? 3. Cardinal change package inserts to allow long term use? 4. Cardinal the police? 5. Cardinal didn’t report every order to Dea? 6. Where’s the money? Doctors ? Pharmacies ?Dea? Think for yourself. It’s a bit more complicated.
Complicated, for sure. No thinking is really needed, all I need to do is wait a few more days. The evidence will be presented to show Cardinal’s true role in the scandal. I can’t wait. Whoa, what’s this news yesterday of a possible settlement? If Cardinal was so innocent, why not fight this to the end? Why not let other distributors settle? At the end of the day, I think Cardinal knows its role and has a good sense of the evidence that will be presented. Salvaging it’s already tarnished reputation may be a higher priority at this point, but we all know a global settlement is not realistic. Cardinal can’t afford what the actual cost will be. Let the total destruction begin!
Because if CAH just keeps fighting to the end, the lawyers just make more and more money. All this is is a corporate shakedown. Look at all these posts on this site about how inept our leaders are and how they basically couldn’t lead themselves out of a wet paper bag. Does that sound like the kind of leadership that would be able to be the mastermind behind a national drug epidemic? I don’t think so. They just stumbled into this and they have no idea how, just like everything else.
How is it that the Dea is never mentioned as responsible?Aren’t they the arm of government that monitors controlled substances? Don’t they license pharmacies? Doctors? There is plenty of blame to go go around. It was expected the distributors monitor orders. All controlled substance orders are reported to Dea. Unusual orders were supposed to be reported too. The Dea computers couldn’t catch it either . They are the ones that could pull licenses. The lawsuits go to where the money is, and the companies settle to minimize the cost. It’s sad that people got addicted and some lost there lives. But the big distributors are just one cog in a very big wheel. I don’t for one minute think the executives at the big three firms had criminal intent. I do think that there were crooked doctors and crooked pharmacists. These were the people that wrote the prescriptions and passed them out. But there is no money in going after them . Another question is why did the fda allow a change in package inserts to say long term use of opioids was safe? Why was there a push to have patients rate there pain level and more aggressive treatment ?
