Well if Nissen actually did want to join team Vascepa, then that was another big gaffe on Amarin’s part. We may never know.

He's head of the cardio division at the Cleveland Clinic, a much more prestigious job than working for AMRN in any capacity (like replacing Bhatt). But I *have* seen someone act that way - my old company bought out our only local competitor and chose not to hire all of the engineers that worked there - one of them had a PhD but he was a pompous a-hole and nobody liked him - I knew him because that company had done some work for my dept. while I was working as a Fed employee. He didn't get hired, but did go to work for the Fed agency, where he eventually ended up being appointed to consult on a major program I was working on for the Feds - he HATED my company for dissing him and made my life a living hell, the jerk - questioned everything I did and made me do all kinds of extra unnecessary work to prove I knew what I was doing. The asshat probably cost the program over $100k for me to do work beyond the scope of the contract, something he really wasn't authorized to do.

I don't recall Nissen ever saying anything nice about R-IT, he jumped on the rise in hs-CRP and LDL in the MO group instantly.
