02.17: Bad Pharma: How Drug Companies Mislead Doctors and Harm Patients
2013-01-15 00:37:55| Powells Books Events Calendar
Medicine is broken. We like to imagine that it's based on evidence and the results of fair tests. In reality, those tests are often profoundly flawed. We like to imagine that doctors are familiar with the research literature surrounding a drug, when in reality much of the research is hidden from them by drug companies. We like to imagine that regulators let only effective drugs onto the market, when in reality they approve hopeless drugs, with data on side effects casually withheld from doctors and patients. Dr. Ben Goldacre shows that the true scale of this murderous disaster fully reveals itself only when the details are untangled. With his characteristic flair and a forensic attention to detail, Bad Pharma: How Drug Companies Mislead Doctors and Harm Patients (Faber & Faber) reveals a shockingly broken system and calls for something to be done.
