I have been out of town for the last couple weeks, and while in my
motel room last night, I heard, for the first time, about a
pharmacist in Kansas who made millions of dollars by watering down
chemotherapy drugs when filling prescriptions. Sometimes he'd cut the
amount of chemotherapy by half, sometimes by 60% and at times he'd
put almost no drug in the mix. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison
for his crimes.
I must say I watched the show, which is titled, "American Greed,"
with very mixed feelings, since I, like so many in the group, feel
that chemotherapy too often does more harm than good. But the man did
of course commit crimes, as he was supposed to be selling full-
strength drugs to his clients.
All the people the show interviewed were aghast, outraged and very
fearful because they didn't get the full amount of chemotherapy they
were supposed to receive. The show kept referring to the chemotherapy
as "a life-saving drug." I kept chuckling to myself whenever I heard
that phrase. I wished the pharmacists's lawyer could have shown
statistics about how many people are actually helped by chemotherapy.
It was all very strange and unsettling to watch... I'm glad I wasn't
on the jury!
