Celebrity Attorney Mychal Wilson Comments On The $30M CDI Settlement with Bristol-Myers Squibb
Mychal Wilson states, "In my opinion, receiving kickbacks such as tickets and box suites for sporting events (i.e.-LA Lakers, LA Kings, and LA Dodgers), expensive restaurant meals and drinks, liquor, resort hotel trips, Swedish massages, concert tickets, golf outings, BMS employee and physician family basketball camps with LA Lakers, monetary incentives given to doctors responsible for prescription drug decisions on formularies, and pulling and flagging patient charts for drug therapy (which included the disadvantaged poor to Hollywood celebrities at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center) places patients in harms way, violates their privacy, and drives up the costs of healthcare."
"From a frontline insiders perspective who was managed and directed to sell billion dollar drugs such as Plavix, Pravachol, and Glucophage coupled with inducements, patients may want to seek a second or even a third opinion before committing to any drug therapy and/or invasive surgery," claims Wilson.
Mychal Wilson states, "I would like to thank and congratulate my courageous and perseverant former co-employees Eve and Lucius Allen (former college and NBA champion) for participating in this case and bringing justice on behalf of the State of California . We owe the Allens an enormous amount of gratitude and respect."
"Additionally, I would like to thank our great legal team WatersKrausPaul for its representation and groundbreaking legal work including attorneys Charles Siegel , Loren Jacobson , Mike Armitage , Louisa Kirakosian , Gary Paul and Michael Gurien , their office staff, the California Department of Insurance Department's (Commissioner Dave Jones , attorneys John Finston , Michael Levy , Tony Celaya , and Richard Krenz ), former Attorney General Kamala Harris , Brooks Cutter and JR Parker of Cutter Law, PC, Alastair Findeis of Milberg, LLP, certified fraud examiner Andy Prough, our expert physicians, and healthcare industry informants for the great collaboration," says Wilson.
Wilson declares, "In today's world, these improper business arrangements have become the cost of doing business. These types of improper business arrangements may also create a false demand which has adversely increased today's drug premiums and drug pricing. Accordingly, improper business arrangements in the practice of medicine need to immediately cease and desist. Hopefully, in fulfilling one of his campaign promises, President-Elect Donald Trump and his new administration will take action against this type of government waste and abuse."
The lawsuit is captioned Case Number BC 367873. The claims settled by this agreement are allegations only, and there has been no determination of liability.
