Eli Lilly E-Mail Discussed Unapproved Use of Drug

It simply boggles the mind when folks who should have some integrity, don't. And it boggles it further when they advertise that lack of moral, let alone legal, sense in a very public fashion such as this.

What in the world was this idiot thinking when he sent this email?

John C. Lechleiter’s 2003 e-mail message appears to have encouraged Eli Lilly to promote its schizophrenia medicine Zyprexa for a use not approved by federal drug regulators.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
