Wyeth faces whistleblower suits over Protonix pricing

I found it curious that while I was hospitalized, having a GI hemorrhage (of unknown origin, since ER doctors forgot to order the nuclear bleeding scan........)I was administered Protonix by I.V. for 3 days(quite an expensive route, I'd say) Prevacid, the only proton pump inhibitor that has worked for me, for 20 years was not on the hospital's formulary, as it's too expensive.....
I was told to ask for the scan next time I hemorrhage and come into that hospital. It will be a cold day in hell, when i do that!
What I will ask, is if the hospital to which I do go, supplies Prevacid or its generic faxcimile. It's been on the market 20 years, generics are supposed to be made available, by law after 7 years, and samples haven't been available at physicians' offices for a year. What's going on, here?

Someone's hands are very "greased", as Protonix is the only proton pump inhibitor I was given in a Sentara hospital in Williamsburg..... (I was there having a GI hemorrhage). Their formulary didn't offer the one drug, Prevacid that works for me in the past 20 years, they said, was "too expensive".
