Description
The Zyprexa Papers by Jim Gottstein is a gripping account of the author's role in exposing Eli Lilly's concealment of the life-threatening side effects of its top-selling drug, Zyprexa. In 2006, The New York Times published a series of front-page stories based on documents obtained from Mr. Gottstein, revealing that Eli Lilly had illegally promoted the use of Zyprexa on vulnerable populations. The book provides a detailed and personal account of the events leading up to the publication of the "Zyprexa Papers", including the author's battles with Eli Lilly over the documents and his efforts to bring attention to the plight of patients like Bill Bigley, whose ordeal made possible the exposure of the truth. Mr. Gottstein sheds light on the complex legal maneuvering involved in the case and the role of a small group of psychiatric survivors who helped spread the documents online. Through this book, Mr. Gottstein gives readers a unique insight into the world of pharmaceutical regulation and the importance of whistleblowing in holding corporations accountable for their actions.
