Whistleblower Lisa Pratta joins Janice Dean to discuss how she believes Big Pharma's hold on the healthcare industry infringes on the livelihood of patients.

While scientific advances have aimed to slow MS’s progression, whistleblower Lisa Pratta argues the real threat may lie within the pharmaceutical industry itself. A former drug sales rep turned U.S. Department of Justice informant, Lisa Pratta, exposed widespread corruption, including bribing doctors to prescribe drugs for profit. Now an outspoken activist, Lisa describes how she believes Big Pharma exploits the vulnerable in pursuit of revenue.

As a sales rep for drug manufacturers Questcor, Lisa Pratta always suspected the company’s business practices weren’t just immoral but illegal, too, as she explains in “False Claims — One Insider’s Impossible Battle Against Big Pharma Corruption” (William Morrow).

But this was the final straw.

False Claims: One Insider’s Impossible Battle
Against Big Pharma Corruption

In this passionate debut, former pharmaceutical sales rep Pratta recounts her efforts to bring one of her employers to justice. After surviving an abusive childhood in New Jersey, Pratta began a career in drug sales in the 1980s. During her first several years in the field, she set annual sales records despite encountering rampant sexism. Her commitment to the industry eroded, however, after she started working for pharmaceutical company Questcor.
