Big Pharma Marketing to Medical Students
submitted by: admin on 11/23/2019
US medical students are exposed to big pharma marketing as early as their preclinical years. The extent of their exposure with industry is associated with positive attitudes about marketing.

Do Herbal Supplements Interfere with Chemotherapy?
submitted by: admin on 09/20/2013

Does Your Baby Need Baby Wash?
submitted by: admin on 09/20/2013
I never cease to be amazed at the lack of ethics of the pharmaceutical companies and much of the rest of the medical industry. Making a profit is clearly the major objective; service is often merely a convenience. Johnson and Johnson (J & J) are not an exception.

FDA Considering Prescription Drugs Without a Prescription
submitted by: admin on 09/21/2013
The FDA is considering offering many prescription drugs without a prescription at pharmacies where a few questions would be asked and medicine dispensed like through a vending machine!

Mainstream treatment for this condition includes surgery, radiation,...
Medical Wrongdoing is a Criminal Act
submitted by: admin on 10/11/2013
It is a legal doctrine that holds corporate officers liable for company wrongdoing. However, in the medical arena, enforcement is minimal and companies get away with murder! The Vioxx story is a classic example where deliberate action knowingly led to 50,000 deaths and not one person was criminally prosecuted. In fact, the company denied any wrongdoing at all...
