this is why i believe we should only ingest recreational drugs and just let nature take its course.

Claire Westfall

Me, dropping everything im doing immediately to listen to this

sucriC drawkcaB

I had to reread the description 2 different times. Definitely getting to this today.

Kingfisher

Can't wait to get home to listen how evil JJ is

Azeran Warrens

Daaaaamn JJ. I’d already heard about the asbestos talcum powder, but this is doubly fucked up!

Lisa Hollingshead

Woah, that's a cliffhanger! Looking forward to episode 2

Acon Cernczyn

Almost broke my hand shutting my work laptop so I can listen!!!

I actually work in Regulatory Affairs/Field Actions yup! I do! I'm probably nuts for enjoying it. Its as hard a job as you might think lol. No one wants to conduct recalls but they are critical. And I must have jumped and yelled "EXACTLY!!!!!" like a dozen times) ..And when I heard "510k loophole" I spit my beer out! Well done, excellent excellent excellent work. So much to unpack.

Shelby Atkinson

The sexiest voice in the podcast world for sure.

Michelle Hebert

"A billon here, a billion there -- pretty soon it adds up to real money! 🙄🤔 Dirtbag doctor!!

Michelle Hebert

Oh yay, I was so excited to hear ACC used my message at the end! I was the one who said he has the sexiest voice in the podcast universe!

PJ Simon

Surely you aren't implying that young boys don't want to develop female breasts.

Jenn

Great episode!! Although my initials are JJ, so I feel conflicted. Lol!

Patti Mokry

Fantastic episode as always!

PJ Simon

Risperdal/risperidone is still on the market. Fun!

Jenny Long

I work on a psych floor...we prescribed resperidone all the time! 😳

Kingfisher

Omnicare was acquired by CVS in 2015

Alan

Masterfully done, ACC. Managed to delve deeper than most of us were aware and that's why this is my favorite podcast. Music on point as always, deformr. In the name of the almighty dollar, holy hell is that egregious. Looking forward to the next part.

Michelle Hebert

Yes it is, but much smaller market share and it is now completely generic since it has been around for so many years. Aripiprazole (Abilify) is now the leading anti-psychotic in terms of sales.

Michelle Hebert

If it makes anyone feel better -- it is now illegal for pharma to set up those sorts of marketing parties with drug-sponsored toys for kids, etc. In fact, you won't even see drug names on pens, mugs, writing pads, etc., anymore when you go into a doctor's office. Those were banned in 2008. Many doctors' offices -- at least the ones associated with academic teaching centers -- now forbid visits by pharma reps. And reps can no longer promote any off-label use of drugs. I've been in continuing medical education (which is not marketing) since the late 1990s and have seen a lot of changes for the better. There are still abuses and greed of course . . . that's human nature, unfortunately.

MetalMatt

Oh boy, I smell what's comin next and it don't smell good... 🤘🏽🤘🏽

Why anyone goes near anything J&J blows my mind

Carrie

Hey Concerned Citizen: I want to continue to support you but this recent news about Patreon has me concerned. Do you have a direct link for those of us very concerned citizens who want to support you directly? Patreon is apparently protecting child predators.

Andrea

I work in psych too.. still see a fair amount of risperidone used but mostly palperidone lately

Red Car in an Old Barn

Oh, I love the episodes that's about companies that are customers of the company I work for. I don't personally have experience with J&J, but Bayer AG is a company I work with often.

Jones

Another brilliant episode

Alyssa Stuart

Woof this one hit me hard. I wonder how I unwittingly participate in harm when I hear these stories about pharmaceutical companies. Sigh.

Casey C

This is terrifying.

Crys

It was a wise choice, considering your response here. I just think it's a bit unhinged to make so many comments and baseless assumptions about people you don't know, but it does appear your original text was altered and I thanked you for it and then reconsidered a response. Being this combative is a choice, I'll leave you to it on your own.

KatieK

I didn't change a word of it. More to the point, neither post was addressed to you, sycophant. Being a passive-aggressive, catty little bitch to someone who suffers from mental illness is a choice, Karen. I just think it's a bit shitty for you to lecture someone you don't know about a subject you don't understand and will never experience in the way I do. If you can handle the subject matter in the podcast, you can handle what I wrote. If not, jog on and don't pretend you actually gaf about the people who have to take meds. Are you ACC's girlfriend? His mother? He's perfectly capable of defending himself. Go sit down. I'm not going to be shamed by some ableist trash named Crystal.

KatieK

Take a look at everything they make. You probably go near their products a lot.

Crys

Katie I'd love for you to know that I'm intentionally not going to respond to this message or you further. Please have a great day.

Laura Sligar

crystal, i'm sorry you were being spoken to in this way. sending good vibes to all.

Richrad Davir is definitely a serial killer.
