A lab technician who says he warned his supervisor at Framingham’s New England Compounding Center that drugs manufactured there could hurt patients will tell his story tonight on 60 Minutes, according to CBS.
The broadcast will air at 7 p.m., as the network’s Scott Pelley unveils his report of an investigation into the compounding pharmacy and interviews a company insider who says NECC concealed its operations from state inspectors.
CBS said the NECC’s President Barry Cadden declined an interview for the story.
The pharmacy, which is now under criminal investigation, allegedly manufactured thousands of vials of steroid pain medication tainted with fungal meningitis. The drugs were linked to 48 deaths and sickened hundreds across the country since fall 2012.
NECC shut down in October and its sister company, Westborough-based Ameridose, laid off hundreds amid an investigation into its facility and was shut down in November.

5. The hospice I work for uses a compounding pharmacy. It's amazing what they do.

They can put an insane amount of narcotic in almost no liquid so people can take meds without IVs at home. They even put some comfort meds into topical gels.

But, I'm for more regulation since there are safety issues.

6. And where are the indictments? Can't prosecute these people fast enuf'.

Jail is the great equalizer.

7. part of the republican de-regulation plan for all of america....

8. Somehow, IIRC Romney had a hand in this debacle

Lots of money and innocent people hurt, right up his alley.

9. I hope the economic woes of this nation level off so that this admin can pay attention to corruption

in this country that is ruining so many lives and sinking so many families into the realms of poverty and illness.

10. It was the last line of the report that bothers me the most.

Barry Cadden cashed in his stock and withdrew money from the company, as the first reports of deaths started coming in.

11. Absolutely correct....However not surprising or new for these kind of sick humans.!!

[lpbk2713]

12. ... and the Baggers still want gummint to stay out of their health care.

Just be careful what you ask for. You just might get it.

[kelliekat44]

13. It's amazing that stories like this don't get more attention by the media and DUers.

Just saying...????

14. On your dime, I’m gonna do a quick rant!!!

So many Stupid fucking imbecilic idiots in this country, all across the board..
Don’t people realize that there is chance stuff like this could easily happen to them???

The poor people in the audience who lives are fucked because of this? Do they even realize now that Deregulation is the cause of their misery? If I was in their situation I would want to know every fucking detail
