The Zyprexa Chronicles: Senate Committee Requests Documents

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), former chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and now its ranking member, has requested that Eli Lilly turn over the documents leaked to the New York Times in December. The committee has authority over Medicare and Medicaid among other federal agencies. The current chairman, Max Baucus (D-Montana) is inevitably aware that his state has now sued Eli Lilly.

So now we've got two Congressional investigations a-brewin'. The news just keeps getting worse for Lilly over its handling of Zyprexa. There's so much now going on that I won't even recount it.

Stay tuned. I have a hunch this is going to get really interesting. If any of you are newbies to this site, you can view the same set of documents right here.
