In a courtyard on the other side of the hospital sat Mohammed Qasam Shalub(ph), his facepale and bruised, his arm broken, the sole survivor of his family.
What drives a man to misrepresent his achievements in this context, when the incremental gain in credibility seems to pale in comparison to the potential loss of credibility he could face (and now has) if the lie comes to light?
Moreover, these losses pale against the potential losses from the damaged reputation that drug companies face as a result of their reckless enforcement of patent claims.
