Drug Companies & Doctors: A Story of Corruption

Here's a link to an informative article written by the same author of The Truth about Drug Companies:  How they deceive and what to do about it.  Some of the information is not new if you've already read her book.  Yet, the book was published in 2004, and after reading the article, clearly, things are not improving.  ...unless you consider financial gain by the pharmacuetical companies improvement.  

"It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of TheNew England Journal of Medicine."

This quote very much sums up how I felt after reading her book on drug companies.  This woman is very knowledgeable in her subject and has the talent to deliver information without making my eyes glaze over.  Hope y'all enjoy it also.  

If there are some other reading materials you'd like to add on this thread, please feel free to do so.  Or we could rummage through some previous threads with reading suggestions and bump them up.
