Drug Company Malfeasance? A Canadian addiction center that is heavily funded by the makers of Prozac withdrew a job offer for a renowned psychiatrist after he publicly criticized the drug. He sued them, and the case has been settled to his advantage. Although he says he accepts their word that the drug company had nothing to do with the withdrawal of his job offer, it's pretty clear that someone in the administration of the center at the time feared his remarks would offend their corporate sponsor. He was much sought after by the center before the remarks, and persona non grata after them. posted by Sydney on
