Hamburger was “shockingly careless about the facts in the cases he proposes to opine about,” Judge Weinstein said

Lilly Wins Ruling to Exclude Doctor’s Testimony on Zyprexa - Bloomberg.com: "Hamburger was “shockingly careless about the facts in the cases he proposes to opine about,” Weinstein said. The doctor gave conflicting answers to questions about the “claimed causal link between Zyprexa intake and medical injury,” he said.
“Faced under oath with consistent extensive factual discrepancies in his analysis, he merely shrugged them off or flippantly shifted to new theories,” Weinstein said. “He repeatedly and impermissibly stretched the truth to support findings of causality.”
The Indianapolis-based drugmaker had moved to prevent Hamburger from testifying as an expert witness in the cases. Zyprexa is approved to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The plaintiffs claim Lilly urged doctors to prescribe Zyprexa for uses not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration"
