I would like to clarify
While drugs have their place in an acute situation, they are not for chonic disease of lifestyle. Having worked in the industry for a while in different areas, I can say that most of the people there are good people and think they are doing a good thing. You are always told how much the work you do benefits humanity, how we are conquering this and that disease, etc. Especially the lower level, newer people, have good intentions. Plus, the benefits are very good, you get respect, and people have to put a roof over their heads and food on the table. It is hard to change occupations when that is what you went to school for and you have a family and don't have the time or money. They may have an inkling that something is wrong, but they don't want to believe it.
I think there is a point at the upper levels, where they know they are doing, but the status and wealthy lifestyle is just too appealing and they sell out. They are totally removed from reality. Once in one of those mandatory pep talk meetings, the speaker asked us to raise our hands if we own a horse!! People just laughed at him, how clueless he was. People can barely afford mortgage and food, but to this wealthy white male, it's normal to afford stables of horses, lol!
One thing I noticed, is the people who work there seem to have an above average incidence of autism and birth defects in their children. I know one friend of mine, a PhD pretty high up who accidently poisoned his dog with pesticides. He is a very good, nice man and felt horrible about it, but you would think an educated person would know better, particularly one in the field of Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics. It just shows you a person can be highly educated but not have common sense.
