The Business of Medicine: Runaway Greed is Outrageous and Fatal

Runaway Greed: Beyond Bad Behavior, greedy criminals are now entering the Business of Medicine, with impunity?

There is a spectrum of greedy behaviors, all of which are destructive.  All should be considered outrageous, targeted and eliminated by forced transparency, boycots, non profit cooperatives and legislation.  Because, people are people and crooks are crooks ... the nature of the beast will allways be with us around the globe.  Obviously, cutting corners for the sake of Profit over People is bad and unacceptable, even if it is "legal".  While this practice is common, destructive, and bad enough, greedy psychopaths don't stop with legal crookery.  Some push the matter to the edge and fall out of "bad practice" zone and  into the clearly defined "illegal" zone.  Some of these crooks don't get caught, or if they do, most proclaim "I have done nothing wrong", and the some slip through court scrutiny.  But the ultimate of GREEDY is the group of psychopaths who, without conscience, demostrate behavior that is destructive and fatal.  This obscenity is now being seen in many arenas, but the latest scam is counterfeit chemotherapeutic drugs.  Must be easy pickings out there.

I have seen production pressure, generic drug substitutes, drug shortages, cuts to patient services, outrageous third party profits and other stupidity as a result of greed inside the Business of Medicine.  But this latest scam is way over the line and, if fatalities occur, as a consequence of this behavior, execution of the perpetrators would not be out of line.  What is it?  Criminals are now entering the Business of Medicine and killing people with counterfeit drugs ... click on the link to see what the FDA has discovered.

Join me to BOYCOTT GREED, and encourage transparency inside the Business of Medicine.  An easy start is the global food and drug industry.  Require labeling that shows location of manufacture ... including the exact manufacturer on all drugs ... prescription, and over the counter.

Avoid ... AKA ... DO NOT USE any drugs, manufactured foods and supplements, unless properly labeled with all the details as to sources of all ingredients and manufacturers.

Sorry, guys ... but the good guys will have no problem with this.  This will protect them and their businesses from garbage "low cost" substitutes.

Please comment, and thanks for your help.

Have a great day!
