In 2006, his meta-analysis of existing data showed that top-selling ESAs (erythropoietin stimulating agents) created previously unrecognized risks, deaths, and serious illness. According to Dr. Steven Rosen, chief medical officer of the City of Hope Cancer treatment centre, Bennett \"saved more lives than anyone in American medicine.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBennett's work also created enemies: he was accused, on the basis of flimsy evidence, of mishandling government grant money and violating the False Claims Act. Powerful interests within Big Pharma, academia, and law enforcement joined in the attack on Bennett. By 2010, he was forced from his academic position, besieged by lawsuits, and became the victim of a coordinated, well-funded campaign to discredit him and refute his work. From pharma superstar to disgrace and disrepute in the blink of an eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTaking On Big Pharma\u003c\/i\u003e explores Bennett's achievement and evaluates the charges against him. Exposed is the unsettling relationship between the pharmaceutical industry and academia. The result of more than five years of research and hundreds of hours of interviews with scientists, academicians, and federal prosecutors, this is an unflinching look at how institutions, purportedly devoted to public health and education, can be corrupted for profit—from drug sales or research grants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854886228204,"sku":"9781510775411","price":49.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/f9434f3b434a58c9b0cd90cde694b51d.jpg?v=1759263687"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/julius-getman.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
