Dr. Reuben's fake studies on Celebrex
"No patients were ever enrolled in the study."
- but the study was published.
Dr. Reuben, who wrote that report, has been doing this kind of work for Pharmaceutical companies for 13 years.
He has had many studies published, every of them showing positive results for new drugs.
All of the studies he wrote up were faked; he never ran one legitimate study, he would just write up a "report" and he would get paid.
Not everyone is happy though, because real people really died from drug such as Vioxx [between 50,000 and 140,000 deaths from Vioxx alone].

From that article in the mainstream medical world, they admit that one of the things Dr. Reuben stated in his fake reports is that "Celebrex does not interfere with bone healing" [a common problem with COX-2 inhibitor drugs].
It does though. People who got Celebrex as part of the orthopedic ["bone"] surgical routine might have had problems with bones healing, and so they would be direct victims of Dr. Reubens.
[please reply if you got Celebrex before and/or after bone surgery, or with a broken bone]
