Thakur listened intently. Kumar had not even gotten to the really bad news. On the plane back to India, his traveling companion, another Ranbaxy executive, confided that the problem was not limited to Vimta or to those ARV drugs.
“What do you mean?” asked Thakur, barely able to grasp what Kumar was saying.
The problem, said Kumar, went deeper. He directed Thakur to put aside his other responsibilities and go through the company’s portfolio — ultimately, every drug, every market, every production line — and uncover the truth about Ranbaxy’s testing practices and where the company’s liabilities lay.

why are so many grocery store workers so nausea inducing?

I remember in Diablo 2, I saw a naked sorceress in the corner of town, shaking uncontrollably as another person seemed to show her off, after she was hacked and her items stolen by a program, and probably blackmailed for it for life. It made me feel very startled by it, as she looked like she had tardive dyskinesia, and makes my stomach hurt just thinking about the real world implications
