Description
Pharmageddon: A critique of the contemporary medical-industrial complex, this meticulously documented book makes extraordinary claims with far-reaching intellectual and practical ramifications.
David Healy argues that 'evidence-based' medicine and corrupt science have led modern medicine off a cliff. The book weaves together the history of modern medicine, clinical trials, statistical analyses, changes in international patent laws, privatization of clinical research, and the blurring of academic and industry lines.
For those seeking to understand how medical practice can be redirected back toward its true mission, this book offers valuable insights into the role of medical commercialism and how it affects patient care. A thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the future of medicine.
