Glaxo's Speed Dial
During the trial, Tracey wanted to use an exhibit that he referred to as a "telephone book," full of influential doctors on Glaxo's speakers' bureau for Paxil and have Healy go through some of the names.
"What I would like to do is put it into the record and have him identify who these people are," Tracey explained to the judge in chambers, outside the hearing of the jury.
"Many of them are influential psychiatrists who have published on Paxil," he said. "I want him to go through seven or eight names so later when the jury hears literature by these authors they will be able to put it into context."
What I am going to do "is show the jury how all-encompassing their strategy for identifying and cultivating psychiatrists were in the country," Tracey said.
"That's part of Doctor Healy's opinion," he said, "how they identified these hundreds of doctors across the country to change the culture that existed."
While Healy was testifying, Tracey introduced the 171 page list and had Healy identify some of the doctors.
Healy testified that Lori Altshuler is "a figure who is very well known in the field of women's mental health and would have written some key articles on the idea that it may be appropriate to use antidepressant drugs for women who are pregnant."
