The Drug Pushers
This is an article from 2006. It is interesting what reps have and continue to do to make money for themselves at the expense of the health of the world at large. The problem continues even as the Sackler family is going down. When will this stop? Maybe never? And according to our yoga philosophy, its just all part of the experience!!
"""Many reps can tell stories about occasions when, in order to move their product, they pushed the envelope of what is ethically permissible.""""
