Kathleen Sharp, author of Blood Feud: The Man Who Blew the Whistle on One of the Deadliest Prescription Drugs Ever tells us about this extremely dangerous prescription medication marketed as Procrit, Epogen and Arenesp that is still on the market today. Known side effects include heart attack, stroke, tumor growth and death. The author shares with us the story of Mark Duxbury, Johnson and Johnson drug salesman, who could not live with what he knew and became a whistleblower working to protect patients from this dangerous medication. Famous attorney, Jan Schlichtmann, protagonist of the bestselling book and Oscar nominated movie, 'A Civil Action', has taken on Mr. Duxbury's whistleblower case. This is a story of abuse of power, greed and the FDA's far too cozy relationship with the pharmaceutical industry.
