Pharmaceutical Fakery

Tim Fagan had already been through a lot when the doctors prescribed Epogen for his anemia. Two years before, when he was just 14, Tim had developed a rare liver condition. His legs turned blue; he became lethargic; he vomited blood. Finally, in February 2002, Tim got a donor liver and had an emergency transplant that saved his life.
