My Sloth, Carlat's Integrity

Sorry for the delayed posting today, but I got a new computer yesterday--um, a new to me iMac G4--and was up most of the night transferring files and whatnot. I'll be caught up dealing with some pesky Internet issues a while longer as well.

In the meantime, feast your eyes on this: Danny Carlat, known to most of you as author of the Carlat Psychiatry Reporter and author of the Dr. Drug Rep article from a few months ago, writes about turning down an offer from a law firm to be paid beaucoup bucks--$500 to $750 an hour--to author a report for a lawsuit against Eli Lilly. The suit is being brought by investors upset that all the bad news around Zyprexa cost them money in the stock market.

Lilly's getting it from all sides, aren't they? Hell, they're the dumb-asses who bled in the water; they shouldn't be surprised that the sharks are circling.

I know an excellent psychiatrist who is working against inappropriate psychotropic use, especially Zyprexa, who could help them. He is steeped in the issues. If you could pass my email along, I would be happy to connect the two.

I would also like to hear what state is finally bringing criminal, as opposed to civil charges, against Lilly. So far they seem to be shying away.
