The Hard Sell: Crime and Punishment at an Opioid Startup by Evan Hughes

informative sad

3.5

We've heard about the big guys behind the opioid epidemic, and now this book tells of a little company with a novel way to administer fentanyl, through a spray.  Once this company had it go head they aggressively marketed the drug, which was intended for end-of-care cancer patients, to anyone with slight pain. It was turning those who took it into addiction and despair.

It was an interesting book where the top was ordering the bottom to sell sell sell.  Collecting the facts, the company inside to see where the corruption was started and bleed into was very interesting.   There were a lot of moving parts from the heads up of who is who to who was fired all the way to those who were pushed to get the medication approved.  Greed can really corrupt and this company did just that
