The drunks....Stella and Lisa hugging on stage....Stella wearing some stupid Captain's hat acting like a fool. The executive team made up of a Russian bitch, a dumbass Chinese national, an Iranian asshole, a drunk American and an English kiss-ass who all thought they were hot shit. Then there is Marv.. LOL, what a bunch of clowns.

Where is Stella and Lisa now?

I remember at the Dallas national meeting back in the early 2000's, Chris Sposato (then Florida's Regional Manager) went around the region to ask which person in each district had the physician who had prescribed the highest Oxy dose. If I remember correctly, the "winner" of the region had a doctor who had prescribed 9,600 mg of Oxy q12h.

Having patients on stage touting the fact they were taking thousands of mg of Oxycontin a day..and still functional.

Each and every one of the patients in the "I've got my life back" video are dead from overdoses, etc. And probably those patients from the national meeting.

So sad they believed Purdue's BS!!

I don’t believe you for a minute. Perhaps a few are dead, but dose is irrelevant, as long as the patient legitimately got their life back, and many did, that’s all that counts. People in legit pain very rarely get addicted as the morphine studies in burn patients prove.
Look, I hate Purdue for the way they treated us reps, but the drugs and what they were trying to do go patients was legit.

we all believed the company BS. When they hand you a study to sell with and you think it’s a great tool to help you grow the business only to find out all these years later that there really wasn’t much scientific backing for the study at all and Purdue paid the doctor off who did the study. Even the reps who worked there were duped by Purdue. We didn’t really know that the company was buying APS, AAPM and many others in order to get backing for OxyContin

The pain literature says you’re wrong and Purdue did nothing with the pain orgs that every other company doesn’t do with the orgs in their therapeutic area. It’s a win win and is by no mean inherently illegitimate. There are plenty of truthful reasons to bash Purdue over without resorting to these sorts of falsehoods.

Well for all the negative posts and comments my 10yr career with thus company was the opposite. I stand behind the drugs and saw first hand what OxyContin did for friends and co-workers families. They were not abusing or taking insane doses daily. I literally saw them being able to go to work and function and be happy to still work. In fact, they are still taking it to this day. My experience like many others I still keep in touch with are sad to see what happened and how the company ended. I worked with some incredible people and it wasn’t just about the bonus money.

Truth!

Not the op here, but the last post is from a real pompous attitude individual who is narrow minded. I worked at Purdue for 3 yrs and my best friend’s sister died of an overdose of fentanyl—not oxy. However, my dad had cancer and I witnessed first hand how oxy helped him and he wasn’t an addict. I watched my neighbor who suffered from chronic pain from a awful car accident who took hydrocodone for years and switched to oxy and actually not want to kill himself from daily pain. So, do deaths happen and addicts develop-sure. Did some people at Purdue promote off label-sure. It’s like anything else....there’s things that happen which are unethical or wrong at times that I don’t agree with, but to say that the company and all involved agreed with these actions it simply is making an inaccurate statement.

Just like op stated, during my time working with the company, I didn’t witness or experience anything of this nature. My interactions with Russ and Windell any the old Purdue leaders was always good and I loved my team and peers. So, op, I stand with you and the rest of Purdue folks who would agree that our goal was to help the people who truly suffered from pain.

Very well said, very balanced and very true!

Not to mention Purdue paid $1 million to a company called Practice Fusion. This company inserted itself into patients' medical records and suggested that for specific patients , a long-acting opioid (such as Oxy) be prescribed. Even when it was inapproproate.

The consequences? Many deaths, one of which was a woman who died of a brain aneurysm. When she went to her primary, he ordered an MRI, but the software provided by Practice Fusion misrouted the order. She went home with Oxy. She was 47 y.o. and died.

Countless numbers of deaths are directly attributable to Purdue. There are so many bad deeds that Purdue has done, you as lowly sales reps, have absolutely no idea.

Like the above poster stated, read something besides the information Purdue provided you with!!

LOL! But you as a lowly sales rep somehow magically does? Oh it let me guess! You read a couple of biased books and now the scales have fallen from your eyes! These people are relating what they know! What they lived! To think you can contradict that with biased babble is just silly. You’re not nearly as deep as you think you are and not nearly as smart as those you dare criticize.
 






Last 5 posts are obviously part of Purdue's attempt to shape the narrative, like Richard Sackler's new website trying to dissipate the blame everywhere but Purdue.

You're pathetic.
 






Btw, Richard, "Dick", there's no putting the Jeanie back in the bottle. There are way too many reps out there (and doctors) who know the truth. You can't silence all. With your money. Or your threats.

Feeble attempt.

Go pay Judge Drain some more $$.
 




































"2nd hearing on Sackler Family's role in opioid crisis and the need for reform". Today at noon. Should be interesting. Guess the dumba** poster defending Purdue and the Sacklers thinks he/she knows more than a congressional committee. During the first hearing the Sacklers were dubbed one of the most evil families in America. Let's see what comes out of this one, as more and more solid information slowly trickles out.

Nothing but a bunch of lovers trying to increase their visibility to the American people. Nothing new came out.

Politicians are all bought off. Sacklers are shining example of that. The way the Sacklers paid off so many is sickening.

One of the craziest things I witnessed was Wendell trying to be cool...trying (and failing terribly) to dance...or to just fit in normally
