Whack!
The word is out. We have a consensus: Carl Elliott’s book is not worth reading. Hot on the heels of a negative review of a review, another review of those two reviews declares: “I think I’ll pass on White Coat, Black Hat”
The book, based on those two articles and another positive review I recently read seems to be anything but a balanced treatment of the issue. In fact, it comes across as a knee-jerk, intellectually lazy collection of anecdotes designed to appeal to popular animosity against the pharmaceutical industry.
Outstanding. That’s $25.00 of your money saved. But haven’t we been saying that all along?

Get the belt!
BOO-YAH! Guess who gets a spanking on the Policy and Medicine Blog? Check this:
Since Elliott thinks he does not have “any moral expertise more than anybody else,†then why did he write the book? Is he donating the proceeds to ensure that people without insurance can get healthcare? No.
Yowza! Sullivan wisely chose to review another review, rather than wasting money on the book – which, as we all know, would only encourage him. Disappointing, though, that the writer failed to credit this blog’s groundbreaking work in destroying Carl’s credibility. He should get in touch; we’ve got plenty of ideas.

"You Lie!"
Next on the list of ideas for how to make things interesting at Carl’s October 26 reading: How about  showing the love South Carolina style? Shout “you lie!” as soon as you get a chance.
Making it Interesting
Hello, Carl Elliott, this is your brother. I just thought I’d reach across the airwaves and the years, and give you the opportunity to apologize for stealing my ideas and exploiting my generosity. Certainly pray over it, and spend some time thinking about why you did what you did.
On second thought, fuck it. Nevermind, that was percocet talking. See you in hell, asshole.

$8 from Bait 'n Hook
Thanks to the stunning success of White Coat, Black Hat, Carl Elliott is now permitted to give public readings in his own employer’s bookstore, instead of on the sidewalk in front of his house. Look for him October 26 at 4:00 pm at the University of Minnesota bookstore.
We are now soliciting ideas on how to show our “appreciation” of his ideas, and to make the event “interesting” for all involved. Here’s a start. 8 bucks from Bait ‘n hook.

Great. Another sermon from the well-paid Dr. BFD about exploiting poor people.  Next Sunday, how about one on exploiting your own family members?

After weeks of dodging his brother’s phone calls, Carl Elliott finally sat down for an interview. No more pansy softball questions; this time he has to answer the tough ones. Read the full text here.
Thanks to everyone who responded to our video-stalking challenge. I’m pretty sure it did the trick.
Interviews
“Hi, you’ve reached Carl Elliott. If you’re Terry Gross, please leave a message. The rest of you can go suck it.”
Is that what he thinks?
Interviews, Self-promotion
Carl Elliott won’t agree to an interview with his brother. What is he afraid of? If you live in Minneapolis and have a camera phone, get him on video and make him explain why he doesn’t return phone calls. Send your videos to info@whitecoatblackhat.com

Choking Chicken
Medcity. The Tom Mischke show. Pharmalot. NPR. The Wall Street freaking Journal. Seems like Carl Elliott is giving interviews to everybody these days — everybody except his own brother. You know, the one who set up a website for him, but still doesn’t have any web content to work with? We could polish off a phone interview in 30 minutes, but no. The emails are going unanswered, the phone calls are all going straight to voicemail. What is this guy afraid of?
