An ex employee blew the whistle that rebif was paying HUGE amounts of money to MDs to send them on luxery vacations, seminars, and resorts to promote their products. Found guilty of kickbacks as high as $25k for prescribing Rebif to their patients.

Big Pharma needs to hang its head in shame. Even when patients were complaining of horrible side effects, increases in lesions, and clearly showing signs of progression while on this med the MDs kept prescribing it and getting those nice vacations and kickbacks.

What is this world coming to when we keep sticking the sick with meds that make them sicker so that the MDs can have a nice spot to play golf?! This makes me sick! it makes me wonder if this is why MY MS MD was so dead set against me quitting copaxone even tho I was clearly miserable and failing badly while on it. Before he came to the clinic no one would even dare keep you on a drug you said no to, but once he arrived it was all high pressure and "you must not quit" speaches.
