No Expenses Spared for NADDI by Convicted National Drug Peddler Purdue Pharma

The convicted felons of Purdue Pharma put National Association of Drug Diversion Investigators and law enforcement up at the finest hotels in the country.

(MYRTLE BEACH, S.C.) - NADDI had the below conference listed on their website. Since I live in Myrtle Beach, I emailed several members of the Executive Board of NADDI and asked who would be speaking at their conference.

Several days have passed without one reply, their lack of courtesy and professionalism does not surprise me.

I see stories of break-ins all over the U.S. and Canada every day. Most of the articles read as the one does below that Tim sent me.

Purdue Pharma`s Values or the Grim Reaper Walks Amongst Us

Purdue Pharma - "We believe in doing the right thing"

(MYRTLE BEACH, S.C.) - "Honesty, integrity, and respect for the individual are at the core of our culture. We are committed to improving the lives of patients in meaningful and positive ways – from finding and developing safe and effective medicines, to manufacturing them at the highest levels of quality, to demonstrating their value and proper use. We are equally committed to upholding the highest ethical standards, and to compliance with all applicable laws and regulations."

The above is posted on Purdue Pharma's website. The insane thing is these guys actually believe that they have honesty and integrity even after the epidemic of OxyContin deaths and addictions throughout the U.S. and Canada because of their past and present marketing tactics.

Johnson & Johnson in Competition with Purdue Pharma for Worst Corporation of 2010

Johnson & Johnson, responsible for the rebuilding of the City of New Brunswick -- not to mention a renowned medical center in New Brunswick being renamed the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital -- has had its fine name tarnished.

(MYRTLE BEACH, S.C.) - In the last couple of weeks, J & J was charged by the US Justice Department with paying millions of dollars in kickbacks to Omnicare, the nation’s largest pharmacy specializing in dispensing drugs to nursing home patients.

Why? So its Risperdal antipsychotic medication would be widely prescribed.

VA Medical Mistreatment: Gross Betrayal of Veterans
Nobody is Responsible

The VA doctors have a proclivity for prescribing powerful, adverse-side effect drugs. Oxycontin is the worst example

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - On January 3, 2010 CBS aired a program about one million mistreated, disabled veterans having disability claims DELAYED, DENIED by a system that waits for them to DIE.

This is so perversely punitive and sick one would think the VA is part of the NAZI death camps. The results are often the same.

Defending Pill Mill Doctors -- Give me a Break

"It is fun to kick the government around" - Purdue Pharma

(MYRTLE BEACH, S.C.) - I have written previous articles about the Pain Societies funded by Purdue Pharma, maker of OxyContin, who spew the words "undertreatment of pain" in the United States.

Purdue Pharma and these "Pain Societies" get chills when they hear the words "pill mill doctors" -- the doctors who use Kinko to print off copious copies of prescription pads to write scripts for OxyContin to patients.
