She Had Made the Company Millions Yet They Cut Her Loose "I went to school and have my college degree. I married and had children. I had a successful career for 18 years-top sales with award winning trips for seven of those years. I have saved for my retirement. I have savings accounts for my children to go to college. I pay my taxes and volunteer my time to many worthy causes like the Epilepsy foundation and the Alzheimer's Association. Yes, I own two nice cars, a big screen TV, and expensive suits and am an incorrigible shopaholic, but I'm not rich by any stretch of the imagination. I'd been blessed with a comfortable middle class life until one split second took it all away." Kimberly Cheryl was living the American Dream until she was seriously injured in a car accident. Unexpectedly fired by the company she long served, she found herself without a job, without insurance, and without any means of paying off her obligations. She quickly moved from a position of observer and participant of the health care industry to being adversely affected by the same system. In Escape from the Pharma Drug Cartel, Cheryl reveals how our health care system is broken, unjust, and inhumane. "Every other industrialized nation manages to provide almost all its citizens with guaranteed health insurance, while spending less on health care than we do," Cheryl writes. How is it possible that the United States-a leader in health care development and drug discovery-is not able to provide its citizens with medical care when countries like Australia and China do? In Escape from the Pharma Drug Cartel, Kimberly Cheryl takes the reader on a shocking, revealing, and provocative tour of the pharmaceutical industry of America as only an insider can.

【看見醫藥市場背後的無形之手】 【揭露隱身在醫學管理背後的幽靈】 大藥廠隱藏在公眾視野之外，它的無形之手伸入研究機構、論文發表規劃師、醫院關鍵意見領袖，甚至是醫學期刊編輯與病患權益倡議組織。 希斯蒙都從「知識政治經濟學」觀點分析藥廠如何介入當代醫學，掌握研究與發表的遊戲規則，在背後控制醫藥知識的生產線；以製藥產業及其代理人作為研究主題，探討他們是如何試圖形塑與傳播對自己有價值的醫學知識。希斯蒙都具體指出大型藥廠是如何拉攏為病患吟唱希望的「海妖」、驅使批鬥吹哨者的「巨魔」，並操控為藥廠喉舌的「殭屍」們。這些被幽靈左右的代理人，共同拼湊了藥廠與醫學知識共舞的圖景。 本書透過對藥廠與從業人員的訪查，追蹤了藥物知識與資訊的傳遞途徑——從臨床研究中抽取想要的數據，再找醫師意見領袖掛名發表論文，並透過多重的學術與行銷活動，進而影響醫師、消費者對藥物與治療方式的認知。希斯蒙都在本書中提出「裝配行銷」（assemblage marketing）的概念，描繪藥廠如何打造強大的代理人隊伍，組裝出有利於製藥產業的醫療市場，合理化購買藥品的興趣與行為。 大藥廠猶如盤據在醫學專業背後的幽靈，它的無形之手形塑了醫藥市場的潛規則。 ・專家導讀 當堅不可摧的論文竟是搭配產品的造勢文宣，研究與利益亦步亦趨時，我們看到《醫藥幽靈》的反省力道──它質疑所有以追求真理為名，操弄知識的生產體制。因此不光生醫製藥，只要市場夠大，產品有利可圖，任何產業都難逃「無形之手」的掌控。──郭文華／國立陽明交通大學科技與社會研究所、公共衛生研究所教授 遵循法規與實證醫學因而成為當代醫藥市場的重要特徵。然而，即使藥廠依據法規進行臨床試驗開發藥物，並據實以科學數據行銷給醫師，就真的毫無疑慮，不致衍生任何惡意誤導或欺瞞的風險嗎？希斯蒙都的《醫藥幽靈》就對這個看來講究科學證據、又受監管的醫藥市場做出了重要的提醒。──王業翰／病理專科醫師、本書譯者 本書特色 1. 研究跨國藥廠打造醫療知識的策略、方法及影響。 2. 揭露醫學論文掛名發表流程、大藥廠管理醫界關鍵意見領袖的方式。 3. 鼓舞病患與醫師掙脫藥廠掌控，提出七點挑戰製藥產業的改革措施。 名人推薦 ・王秀雲 ／成功大學醫學系人文暨社會醫學科教授兼主任 ・吳易叡 ／成功大學不分系、醫學系人社科副教授 ・吳嘉苓 ／臺灣大學社會學系教授 ・林宗德 ／清華大學社會學研究所與通識教育中心合聘副教授 ・陳瑞麟 ／中正大學哲學系講座教授 ・黃于玲 ／成功大學醫學系人文暨社會醫學科副教授 ・黃文鴻 ／陽明交通大學兼任教授、前行政院衛生署藥政處處長與藥物食品檢驗局局長 ・劉宏恩 ／政治大學法律科際整合研究所副教授 ────齊聲好評（依姓氏筆畫排序） 重磅推薦 在網路資訊氾濫的今天，諸多我們日常生活中的消費行為，受到資訊傳播影響，醫藥品的選擇也不例外。這種無形的「認知作戰」，連社會各界的意見領袖群也可能難以知覺，在國際性藥廠散布的眾多訊息中被「潛移默化」。 《醫藥幽靈》作者在本書中，以實例深入分析我們常接收到的專業醫藥資訊，是如何在藥廠的鉅大影響力下，形塑大眾與醫藥專業人員對藥品認知的價值；其影響力所及，連病人權利倡議團體都無法例外。希斯蒙都在本書無私地與世界各國關心醫藥產業價值的群體分享他的研究發現，中文譯本的出版更能促進臺灣關心此一議題人士有進一步的深入了解，謹此推薦。──黃文鴻／陽明交通大學兼任教授、前行政院衛生署藥政處處長與藥物食品檢驗局局長 國際書評 我相信每位醫生和依賴醫生傳遞知識的病患都應該閱讀《醫藥幽靈》，因為該書鼓勵人們對市場經濟中的醫學採取合理的懷疑態度。──李蒙・麥克亨利（Leemon B. McHenry，加州大學生物倫理學家和榮譽退休哲學教授） 瑟吉歐‧希斯蒙都的《醫藥幽靈》是一本真正重要的書，它全面講解了關於製藥公司如何創造和管理有關藥品和健康的專業及大眾知識。──墨菲・哈里伯頓（Murphy Halliburton，紐約皇后大學人類學系教授） 本書聚焦的重點和範圍將其置於強大的STS傳統之中，即打開建構科學事實的黑盒子。希斯蒙都令人信服地展現了醫藥產業界是如何滲透進醫學知識生產、流通和消費的各個面向。──潔西卡・梅斯曼（Jessica Mesman，荷蘭馬斯特里赫特大學藝術與社會科學學院社會研究系副教授）

"I was a walking bankroll, wearing $150,000 worth of jewelry and carrying as much as $40,000 cash in my pockets. Yet my friends asked: "how are you doing?" I'd sometimes reply, "miserable. I hate every second of my life, and I do not know why." Jorge ValdesAll his dreams for wealth and power came true. Then the nightmare began.As a young man in his twenties with an insatiable thirst for money and power, Jorge Valdes worked his way up inside Colombia's powerful Medellin drug cartel. His key position as head of U.S. Operations brought him into direct contact with presidents, generals, Hollywood celebrities, hired killers and kidnappers. This Cuban immigrant, raised in poverty, was living the high life in more ways than one. His deeds took him from the lap of luxury to the depths of prison and back again.Then an incredible thing happened: Jorge Valdes encountered a person much more powerful than the strongest drug lord, someone who offered something more satisfying than women, drugs, money, prestige and power.Reading more like a fast paced novel of intrigue than a traditional biography, coming clean: the true story of a cocaine drug lord and his unexpected encounter offers an insider's view of the drug industry and the greed that drives it. Told that he would never be anything but a twice convicted drug dealer; today, dr. Jorge l. Valdes, who holds a master degree from Wheaton college and a PhD. In new testament studies from Loyola University in Chicago, is a renowned national speaker who brings a message of hope, forgiveness and the power to change. He has been featured in numerous magazine covers and appeared in many national and international television and radio programs.

Named one of the best true crime books of all time by Time In the last six years, more than eighty thousand people have been killed in the Mexican drug war, and drug trafficking there is a multibillion-dollar business. In a country where the powerful are rarely scrutinized, noted Mexican American journalist Alfredo Corchado refuses to shrink from reporting on government corruption, murders in Juarez, or the ruthless drug cartels of Mexico. A paramilitary group spun off from the Gulf cartel, the Zetas, controls key drug routes in the north of the country. In 2007, Corchado received a tip that he could be their next target—and he had twenty four hours to find out if the threat was true. Rather than leave his country, Corchado went out into the Mexican countryside to trace investigate the threat. As he frantically contacted his sources, Corchado suspected the threat was his punishment for returning to Mexico against his mother’s wishes. His parents had fled north after the death of their young daughter, and raised their children in California where they labored as migrant workers. Corchado returned to Mexico as a journalist in 1994, convinced that Mexico would one day foster political accountability and leave behind the pervasive corruption that has plagued its people for decades. But in this land of extremes, the gap of inequality—and injustice—remains wide. Even after the 2000 election that put Mexico’s opposition party in power for the first time, the opportunities of democracy did not materialize. The powerful PRI had worked with the cartels, taking a piece of their profit in exchange for a more peaceful, and more controlled, drug trade. But the party’s long-awaited defeat created a vacuum of power in Mexico City, and in the cartel-controlled states that border the United States. The cartels went to war with one another in the mid-2000s, during the war to regain control of the country instituted by President Felipe Calderón, and only the violence flourished. The work Corchado lives for could have killed him, but he wasn't ready to leave Mexico—not then, maybe never. Midnight in Mexico is the story of one man’s quest to report the truth of his country—as he raced to save his own life.
