Drug Companies Paid Doctors To Prescribe Lists
It is known hat Doctors resort to unethical practices.
I have posted how a Doctor forced a patient to undergo operations to complete the target and the patient turning up Dead!
Under Health, I have also listed various unethical practices by the Doctors , Hospitals.
ProPublica is an independent, non-profit newsroom that produces investigative journalism in the public interest. Our work focuses exclusively on truly important stories, stories with “moral force.” We do this by producing journalism that shines a light on exploitation of the weak by the strong and on the failures of those with power to vindicate the trust placed in them.
Following is an excerpt from their investigations.
The next time your doctor prescribes a medicine, recall this and check if the medicine is really needed and will help you.
Drug Companies Paid Doctors.
“When Dollars for Docs first launched in 2010, ProPublica spoke with several of the dozens of doctors who had earned more than $200,000 from their speaking and consulting work for drug companies. Now, with records from more companies and more years of data, we’ve identified 22 doctors who’ve earned at least $500,000 since 2009 — including one, Jon Draud, who was paid more than $1 million.”
The totals listed here cover different time periods and spending categeories, and aren’t directly comparable. See notes below. See what each company discloses »

Victims Boston Bombings, Funeral Photos Videos
The morning funeral of Krystle Campbell, 29, was the first since the April 15 attack at the marathon’s finish line, which killed three people and injured more than 200.
The suspected bombers also are believed to have fatally shot a campus police officer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on Thursday night before a gun battle with police and day-long manhunt that left most of the Boston area locked down.
Some in the crowd outside St. Joseph’s Church in Medford said they had driven as far as 100 miles to attend Campbell’s funeral and Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and interim U.S. Senator William “Mo” Cowan also were there. Boston Cardinal Sean O’Malley spoke, according to an event program. The funeral was closed to the media.
The hearse carrying Campbell’s red-tinted casket was escorted by about 20 police motorcycles. An honor guard of uniformed law enforcement officers stood in front of the church as pallbearers carried the casket in.

Texas Plant Explosion Photo Essay Videos
A massive explosion at the West Fertilizer Co. rocked the small town of West, Texas, late Wednesday night, leaving more than 100 people reported injured and many feared dead.
“It was like a nuclear bomb went off,” said West Mayor Tommy Muska to CNN.
According to Sgt. Patrick Swanton of the Waco Police Department, the first call of a fire came in at 7:29 PM local time. Firefighters and other emergency workers responded to the call and began evacuating the area.
Minutes later, the devastating explosion occured. The first call of the explosion came in at 7:53 PM local time said Swanton.
More than 100 victims have been treated at Hillcrest Hospital in Waco, Texas. And at least 60 more have been treated at Providence Hospital.
Toxic, flammable and dangerous: What is an anhydrous ammonia explosion?
“The West Fertilizer facility suffered an anhydrous ammonia explosion, according to Waco Assistant Fire Chief Don Yeager.
That term applies to ammonia in its liquid or gas state. Anhydrous ammonia is classified as toxic and dangerous for the environment – and is extremely flammable and is capable of forming highly explosive mixtures.
If Ammonia is exposed to iodine, Nitrogen triiodide is formed – which is described as a high explosive – capable of exploding out to six miles out.
According to Yeager, the explosion affected other parts of the fetilizer plant too – which could have accelerated the mixing of toxic materials. Anhydrous ammonia is transported as a liquid at temperatures below -28°F.
In the event of a large spill it can form a toxic vapor cloud that is heavier than air until its temperature increases.
Anhydrous ammonia is corrosive to copper, silver, aluminum, zinc, and alloys. It reacts with body moisture, so it may burn body tissue – skin, eyes, mouth, throat, lungs, and stomach – on contact, if inhaled or swallowed.”
(Mail online UK)
“I will confirm there have been fatalities,” said Swanton who estimated 5 to 15 were thought to be dead.
Swanton also said that between 3 and 5 firefighters were missing.
There were a “tremendous amount of injuries and we do have confirmed fatalities,” said D.L. Wilson, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Safety at a conference late Wednesday night, He was not able to provide specific numbers.
The blast was so massive that it registered as a 2.1 magnitude earthquake, according to the USGS.
