Pharmageddon: A Nation Betrayed: A National Trial Lawyer Reveals an Industry Spinning out of Control

Sidney D. Kirkpatrick

0/5 ( ratings)

An unsettling, illuminating, and provocative discussion of a pressing political issue involving drug companies - Kirkus ReviewWe've heard the stories. Pharmaceutical companies failing to warn of side effects. Marketing drugs illegally. Whistleblowers bringing incriminating evidence of corporate machinations leading to huge verdicts and settlements. And in this true-legal thriller, it all started with butterfly ballots putting a presidential election on hold.

Meet Stephen A. Sheller, an attorney whose career reads like an encyclopedia of the biggest legal cases of our time. Sheller fought tobacco companies and exposed fraud in their efforts to promote light cigarettes as safer than regular smokes, filed the first suit over the butterfly ballots in the controversial Bush v. Gore presidential election of 2000, and recovered a staggering $6.4 billion by going after pharmaceutical companies whose actions superseded patient safety.

Pharmageddon: A Nation Betrayed is the inside story of Sheller’s fights to hold accountable powerful pharmaceutical companies for aggressively campaigning for their product’s distribution in spite of dangers and side effects many prescription drugs carry. From uncovering the devastating effects on children and elderly to defending all of our rights in an increasingly complex legal system, Sheller has uncovered greed and avarice displayed by these multi-billion dollar corporations. Discover what happens when a legal champion takes up a cause.
