What ever happened to....

Smart to ask this website instead of him.

 

I thought so.

 

Can you say insider trading?

Must have hit a nerve since the great defender hasn't posted a reply. Hope ole Sposato makes nothing.

 

HAW HAW! Windell Fisher was the biggest doofus of the bunch. heard he's schlepping baby wipes and diaper rash creams. definition of dork

 

Spot on. Nobody trusted that guy

 

Which long timers are still at Purdue?

 

All of the haters, dopesick, and painkiller Hollywood media hype is the problem. Proud alum 10yr employee—sold oxy before it was reformulated and after. Never once was told to promote off-label, saw anything shady, max out or titrate up on mg, etc. i made great money because i worked 8-10hr days most days and did programs and promoted oxy for appropriate pts—-not pill mills. I had primary care docs using this product instead of hydrocodone and Percocet. No one says a word about these ir q4h drugs —just constant blame on upper leaders like Russ, windell, etc. I liked everyone i worked with at Purdue except one leader who was a dictator and should have been fired years ago for his hate on women and militant dictatorship. Ran many reps and DM’s away during his reign. Still to this day, Purdue had the best training and development in pharma and I’ve been at 3 of the top 10 big pharma companies.

 

You sold an addictive drug that has questionable efficacy. If you don't believe me, take a look at the overdose stats. I was given oxy after surgery and the pain relief lasted for about 1 hour. OTC pain relievers can manage real pain better than any addictive opioid. Your efforts helped to fuel an epidemic. The real problem is the fact that this drug was approved by the fda.

 

Im on oxy for back surgery and so was my grandad before he passed from cancer. I switched from fentanyl to oxy and been on the same dose for 8yrs. When you’re in pain and you take it as intended, you know it works. This is coming from someone who sold the drug and is taking the drug and who’s best friend died of an overdose on Percocet and ex boyfriend died snorting oxy and Xanax —so if anyone is gonna be judgemental i think i have it covered. Purdue was good to me and i met some amazing people who are not shady individuals. From a pain perspective, i didn’t like taking a pill every 4hrs to get a opioid buzz and then have breakthrough pain because of 2 back surgeries and I’m not even 40. Sounds like your experience is different and that’s fine, but there’s a lot of people who this drug helped and a lot it hurt sadly because he/she abused it and that’s the facts.

 

You're going to build a tolerance being on the same drug for 8 years. Or am I incorrect?

 

At the right dosage, Ibuprofen and Naproxen Sodium work extremely well to manage both pain and inflammation. The reality is, you're an addict. If we set up cameras in your house and switched you from oxy to ibuprofen or naproxen sodium we'd witness you having serious withdrawal symptoms. Moreover, you're an addict who has confused pain for an addiction. What makes my experience with oxy so different from yours? You've been brainwashed and I haven't been. Thankfully, they only gave me one dose of Oxy. Through that one dose, I experienced what happened during the beginning of the epidemic. You have surgery and you're in serious pain, they prescribe you oxy, it works for a short time because it isn't good at managing real pain (you start to complain about the pain), they up your dosage, and up your dosage, until you stop complaining about the pain. Next thing you know, you've developed an addiction. If you want to get high or are sad/depressed, then opioids work great. If you are experiencing real pain, then opioids barely work at all.

To say that we are all different is only partially true. Biologically, we are all very similar.

 

Purdue alum here. There’s not a shot you didn’t see anything wrong. There was plenty! These Hollywood shows may dramatize some events but the general construct is true. You sold the <1% addiction if you worked there and we all thought it was from credible info. The problems that were happening in all of our communities was definitely happening and when you went to report offices that has red flags and who were shady, who did you report it to? That’s right, Purdue’s attorney Joan Zooper so that attorney client privilege shielded the company and then the worst offices doing shady $shit just kept operating because Purdue was bringing in lots of cash from them. The rep satisfied their obligation to report and nothing ever happened!
Let’s see what happens with the settlement at the supreme court. I have a feeling there will be some accountability.

 

Unfortunately, these idiotic sycophants choose to stick their heads in the sand and refuse to educate themselves. They are still spouting the half-truths and outright lies that Purdue fed them for so many years.

Either that, or they simply can't come to terms that what they did was just as sleazy as what Purdue's executive team did.

They're all now sitting in their million dollar homes and they must justify to themselves how they made all of that cash.

In the end, they're each and every one so delusional, it's truly pathetic.

I just hope that once the criminal indictments come, that the attorneys General decide not to pursue the reps as well as the executives.

Can't stick your head in the sand then, can you?
