Top of the morning to you. Another busy day is unfolding here on the Pharmalot campus, where we are mulling over our cluttered calendar and plotting our next moves. No doubt, you can relate. After all, this is only the middle of the week and there is so much to be done. This calls, as you may imagine, for a hot cup of stimulation.

Hope you make your way today …

The former executives were accused of running a scheme that involved a sham speaker program and bribing doctors in order to boost prescriptions.
