When is the Perp Walk?

Pain patients DO NOT receive the appropriate meds. Prove me wrong. bnice attempt to speak on behalf of so many real pain patients out there. I'd wager you are either a victim blaming others or a lawyer getting paid to do it.

I am neither a victim nor a lawyer, just a witness to Purdue's BS for many years.

Regarding it being difficult for pain patients to get appropriate treatment, the fault lies exclusively on Purdue's shoulders for that.

If Purdue had not lied to every single physician and medical board out there (with the sole goal of lining their pockets with cash), then state medical boards would never have had to crack down on overprescribing. If Purdue had never so selfishly funded AAPM, APS, and every other supposed pain society, then the laws would not have to be changed to make the guidelines more stringent for doctors to prescribe opioids.

My guess about you....you're an ex-Purdue rep lamenting the days of the huge bonuses. You're remembering the Purdue cheerleading days of "Help your patients get their lives back" etc etc. Etc....never with any pure motive of helping patients, simply lining every Purdue employee's pocket with $$. If that's the case, move the hell on.

like a typical emotional left winger - you are wrong and wrong. Took oxycontin for over 15 years due to multiple joint replacements and degenerative disk disease. was the only medication that worked and now not a doctor on earth will prescribe it. you clearly have NO idea what it feels like. Always one sided with you emotional liberals

Not the OP, but it’s not always one sided liberals. I’m a democract middle of the road thinker and my dad has been on OxyContin for 18yrs because of his pain. He takes it as prescribed and been on the same dose for 12yrs now—20mg BID. The stigma is there, but if you find a doc who really wants to help you have a quality of life he/she knows OxyContin works. Just like oncologist use it for cancer patients. Oh, and, and yes I was a rep who sold OxyContin before it was reformulated.
 






After the Supreme Court rejects Purdue's bogus bankruptcy sweetheart deal, let's hope and pray that the Perp Walk starts. First up: Richard Sackler; 2nd up: Russ Gasdia; 3rd: Christopher Sposato.

And many, many more!
 


















There would be no sweeter justice than Russ in an orange jumpsuit! The part about him wanting to fire a whole district in 2012 because they couldn’t sell more opioids is so typical of the ahole he became after the greed took hold and he thought everything the sales force touched should become another OxyContin! Remember his on stage melt down over Spectracef?



hahahaha yes exactly! Spectrashit!

i think this will happen! Accountability is on the agenda within our government and many wrongs are going to be righted all around. Perp walks for politicians, pharma including the Sacklers and the vaccine pushing pharma heads like Bourla! Not sure about Sposato, but Gasdia, Fisher and regionals like Taggart deserve to be held accountable for the pressure exerted on reps to sell more opioids for sure!

Sposato is the idiot who authored the anthem that became Purdue's mantra..."Titrate the patient's dose, Dr, until the patient says thank you". This and multiple other tactics were started by Sposato.

When he was a DM in south Florida, he began these tactics. His district was #1 in the country. He got promoted to the regional manager over Florida. He pushed these tactics on all the FL reps. The result? At one time in the late 90's or early 2000's, 98% of all Oxycontin scripts sold in America were sold in the state of FL. Once again, he was promoted.

More of his tactics were pushed on reps throughout the nation and that's when Oxycontin exploded nationwide.

For this and many other reasons, Sposato should be #1 on the Perp Walk.

One time, at a national meeting in Dallas ( Sposato was FL's regional manager at the time), he went around this ballroom asking each district who had the dr with the patient on the highest dose. The winner of the region got some sort of prize and accolades.

The dose the "patient" was taking that won Sposato's little contest? 4,800 mg q12h.

That's right-- 9,800 mg Oxycontin a day (the equivalent of 1,960 5-mg Percocets, without the Tylenol, in One Single Day!!!

Sposato sounds like a true criminal. I agree, put him at the front of the perp walk.

Oh F*ck you! You’re probably still whining about pressure, 3 jobs later. None of these guys did anything devious or illegal at the time. Unfortunate events unfolded, nobody denies, but they did it right and never told you to not sell. Oh, the pressure!!

"Unfortunate events" unfolded--are you totally insane, or still brainwashed by the psychiatrists who have absolutely no morals??

"Unfortunate events" did NOT just "unfold" by themselves. "They" did nothing right, except line your--and every Purdue employee's--pockets with loads of cash. While it was not illegal at the time, it certainly was devious.

Just a few devious tactics that I'm aware of include:
Owning and running the AAPM and the APS and lying to the salesforce and everyone else that these were legitimate 3rd party sources.

Never contacting anyone in government to report physicians who were obviously over prescribing opioids and running pill mills.

Far too many examples of devious activity by the Sacklers, Gasdia, and evidently Sposato, to be listed here.

Please add any devious tactics that you witnessed while working with these sacks of shit!

Spot on. Great name for the Sacklers, they are sacks of shit.

Another devious tactic was claiming that Oxycontin (or opioid) addiction rate is less than 1%, claiming that figure came from a study. It actually came from a letter to the editor.

Studies are monitored by scientists who come to a conclusion. This statement was not a study. Purdue perpetuated many outright lies.

How can any sane person claim they did nothing devious?

No response from the idiot who posted "none of these guys did anything devious or illegal..."?? Wonder why! Guess you can't hang with the big boys?
