"The New York Times reported Wednesday on its Web site that the makers of Aranesp and another anemia drug whose safety has been questioned recently have been PAYING doctors to prescribe their drugs." ... read more about it from JEANNE, a woman who was prescribed the anemia drug, Aranesp ($5,000 per dose). this drug is among those that when prescribed doctors receive a REBATE- "an incentive to prescribe the anemia drugs known as EPO at levels that might increase risks of heart attacks or strokes".i've searched my bathroom and under-the-sink products seeking stuff made by johnson & johnson. while i did find a few, i took a mental note of them so i won't purchase them again in the future. replacing them with other brands will be so freaking easy. boycotting is the most simple form of positive, successful activism and has the potential to spread like wild fire.
so off you go! check out that medicine cabinet and help put an end to "kick-back" prescription practices.
