I’ll put this one on hold because it’s too depressing for my current headspace. I’ll hope to get back to it someday because it’s very interesting, especially when you work in the healthcare sector.

Andy Warhol worked for Arthur Sackler once upon a time aka in the 1950ies.

„Arthur felt as if he had seen the future, and it was a future in which drug companies and drug advertisers would bring fantastic innovations to the public—and make a lot of money at the same time.“

Urgh, I didn’t know it was Arthur Sackler’s fault that medical publisher also ‘play’ this game of trying to woe physicians to prescribe this drug but not that one. I have barely started and hate this family already.

I’m sure this will be depressing but also very interesting.
