Pharma exec gave doctor a lap dance at Chicago nightclub to get him to prescribe fentanyl, officials say at trial

 

Physician Paul Madison is suspected of taking more than $70,000 in bribes from a drug company to churn out prescriptions for its highly addictive fentanyl spray. But on Tuesday, prosecutors wanted jurors to focus more on what, exactly, the pain management specialist was doing at The Underground — "Chicago's sexiest nightclub" — with an exotic dancer-turned-pharmaceutical executive named Sunrise wriggling around on his lap.

 

Prosecutors highlighted the boozy outing Tuesday during the ongoing Boston trial of Insys Pharmaceutical executives, who are accused of using kickbacks and dodgy tactics to get doctors to increase prescriptions of Subsys, their fentanyl spray that can be 100 times more potent than morphine.
