Engaging writing, terrifying stories. You will never look at your prescriptions and vaccinations the same way again. Discover what drug "research and testing" really is. Written by a professor with inside knowledge and experience in medicine and the pharmaceutical industry, this true recounting of the most publicized cases of bad drugs (Vioxx, for example) should have all of us questioning the tactics of Pharma and the FDA. Find out how "published studies in prestigious medical journals" are literally marketing ad copy written by non-physicians and how deaths by drugs are covered up. If you ever find yourself sitting in a doctor's office or hospital, these issues will affect you personally. Read and share this book.
Don't read this book unless you can handle some additional anxiety. It's scary to find out how dysfunctional our health care system really is behind the screen. But then, I pretty much knew, as I work as a doctoral level health care professional in a major academic health science center. It IS scary. And fabulously entertaining! I will strongly recommend to all my students, may incorporate into required course readings.
This book discusses important topics that we all should know about;The nontrivial conflicts-of-interest between pharmaceutical firms and doctors and researchers need to have some more time in the sun so that we all know what they are (and the first step in finding a solution to a problem is to understand that you have a problem and what it is).The large-scale big-money push by pharmaceutical firms to get their drugs into the market, to get them recommended by medical professionals and researchers and into your prescriptions creates all sorts of conflicts-of-interest that consumers, patients and the general public need to know more about.The disclosure of the financial (monetary and other) arrangements between pharmaceuticals and doctors and researchers needs to be vastly improved.The treatment of medical (human) research subjects is, at times, seriously problematic, unethical and dangerous.The true authorship of medical and research papers "written" by the publicly named authors needs to be disclosed. The true conductors of the research needs to be acknowledged. The financial sponsorship of the research needs to be disclosed and finally the raw data needs be disclosed so that different conclusions can be drawn as data can be cherry-picked to fit a conclusion.It is not the basic business of pharmaceuticals that is being challenged in this book, it is how some of this business is conducted.This is an important book because the more people who know about the issues discussed in it then the greater likelihood that appropriate solutions will materialize to the problems discussed. Sunshine (the disclosure of true and complete information) is a powerful disinfectant.Highly recommended!
This is a story about what goes on in the testing of pharmaceuticals prior to their approval for use and what the process of marketing new drugs is. It is disturbing. One of the factors in the high cost of health care is the cost of medications and one of factors that contributes to the high cost of drugs is marketing, particularly direct-to-consumer marketing. This book describes the shortcuts drug companies take in testing the products to determine safety and the techniques they use to persuade physicians to prescribe their products. The information in the book is scandalous. Every time I ass an ad on TV that includes the phrase "ask your doctor about..." I think about this book and the seedy practices of drug companies and their enormous profits. A little known fact: when Congress passed Part D of Medicare, the prescription drug benefit, they agreed not to negotiate lower drug prices, which was a huge bonus to drug companies. Given the purchasing power of the Medicare program, it was in the position to bargain for lower costs of prescription drugs for Medicare beneficiaries and Congress didn't do it. One of the Congressmen who was the chief architect of the Part D legislation left congress and became a lobbyist for the pharmaceutical industry.
As a physician who's spent half my life in clinical practice and half as a physician executive in biotech, I laud the author's thorough preparation for writing this book. It is clear a lot of energy has gone into the research for the piece and it far similar treatises that deal only with anecdote and superficiality. Encyclopedic in its information, it provides the reader with an excellent overview of the topic. It is so thorough it is almost textbook in scope yet the author writes with a clear and straightforward style that makes is enjoyable for virtually anyone interested in the topic.
I require all my residents and medical students read this book. Understanding every level of what goes into research and the potential bias it produces is so important. I also tell all of the pharmaceutical representatives I meet to read this book as well. What an eye opener!
The book is well-written and the author has a distinctive voice. He does an excellent job explaining medical and pharmaceutical industry practices to we laymen who have little, if any, prior knowledge. Although at times I felt like he relied on personal anecdotes slightly too often, and I wish some of these more extraordinary anecdotes had some secondary source to back the claims up, the author's message is clearly defined and supported: as we continue to treat the health care industry as a free-market, profit-driven business, ethics and best practices fall by the way side, and both doctors and patients suffer.
Teaches you a great deal about the pharmaceutical industry, things that you can use for good or for evil. A little biased, but what isn't?
