      Synopsis


      She Had Made the Company Millions Yet They Cut Her Loose

      "I went to school and have my college degree. I married and had children. I had a successful career for 18 years-top sales with award winning trips for seven of those years. I have saved for my retirement. I have savings accounts for my children to go to college. I pay my taxes and volunteer my time to many worthy causes like the Epilepsy foundation and the Alzheimer's Association. Yes, I own two nice cars, a big screen TV, and expensive suits and am an incorrigible shopaholic, but I'm not rich by any stretch of the imagination. I'd been blessed with a comfortable middle class life until one split second took it all away."

      Kimberly Cheryl was living the American Dream until she was seriously injured in a car accident. Unexpectedly fired by the company she long served, she found herself without a job, without insurance, and without any means of paying off her obligations. She quickly moved from a position of observer and participant of the health care industry to being adversely affected by the same system.

      In Escape from the Pharma Drug Cartel, Cheryl reveals how our health care system is broken, unjust, and inhumane. "Every other industrialized nation manages to provide almost all its citizens with guaranteed health insurance, while spending less on health care than we do," Cheryl writes. How is it possible that the United States-a leader in health care development and drug discovery-is not able to provide its citizens with medical care when countries like Australia and China do?

      In Escape from the Pharma Drug Cartel, Kimberly Cheryl takes the reader on a shocking, revealing, andprovocative tour of the pharmaceutical industry of America as only an insider can.

      November 12, 2008: In Escape From The Pharma Drug Cartel, a former drug rep and industry cheerleader takes a hard look at the pharmaceutical sales field from the inside, starting with its middle heyday, all the way to near-recent practices. Readers witness the flourish and luxe of this bloated industry, and follow it to its downturn and likely demise through the eyes of Kimberly Cheryl.

      Cheryl introduces herself as an industry insider, forsaken and given up on once her health takes a sudden downturn, an incident described in excruciating and astounding detail near the beginning of the book. Readers begin with a peek into the industry's training philosophies and management practices, including witnessing events and training programs described in such lavish and opulent detail as to be simultaneously inviting - yet strangely disturbing - definitely echoing the swollen wallets and bank accounts of this para-cartel. Cheryl then traces her path through the light days and watches for us as the industry seems to turn.

      While giving eye-opening insight into both her personal and professional life, Escape From The Pharma Drug Cartel also augments Cheryl's experience with the perspectives of other pharma drug soldiers, provided through glimpses into conversations, online communities, and others' beliefs regarding the industry.

      With great foreshadowing that hooks the reader, along with intimate details and incredible highlights, this book offers an insightful look into a roller coaster of a career.

      February 20, 2008: By L. Ehlers (REAL NAME) Very interesting, quick and enjoyable read. Ms. Cheryl brings up some interesting points of discussion for anyone who has had dealings not only with the medical business but business practices overall. The touches of home life she introduces make this appealing to a wide variety of readers. Would love to read more.
