Lethal Medicine

A compounding company that makes specialized medicine for one patient at a time started mass producing these drugs without the approval of the FDA. This small drug distributor had grown experientially out of proportion. At one time they had about 3000 clients or clinics ordering from them. The clinics would fill out forms for individual use but the names were often sceptical in nature, for example a couple names were like Homer Simpson and Bart Simpson. This raised a red flag for some of the sales personal but not others these were the only people to actually talk to 60 Minutes. Where the drugs were actually made was called Clean Room 1, but it wasn't clean. Up until they started filling mass orders they were very good at keeping the place clean. Then when the average work load increased by almost 1000% they could not handle it and often they would find mold around the clean room. This lead to mold being found in the drugs, but it was already too late. It had been shipped all around the country. Within the next few months of mass production people began dying. This could cause mass hysteria because if this got into the hands of really bad people that mean business then we could face a pandemic.
