"EXCLUSIVE: How Big Pharma greed is killing tens of thousands around the world: Patients are over-medicated and often given profitable drugs with 'little proven benefits,' leading doctors warn"
 
Sir Richard Thompson, former-president of the Royal College of Physicians and personal doctor to the Queen for 21 years, warned tonight that many medicines are less effective than thought. He is one of a group of six eminent doctors, led by NHS cardiologist Dr Aseem Malhotra, who are concerned about the influence of pharmaceutical companies on drugs prescribing.

Denna artikel är taggad som "Best of" i appen Pocket (https://getpocket.com/) vilket borde innebära en viss popularitet. Det bådar gått tycker jag även om just Pocket kanske inte har blivit så värst vanlig i Sverige än.

 

PS. Med pocket kan man spara ned en artikel man stöter på för senare läsning eller användning som referens. Ds.

Dr Jason Fung har skrivit nåt bra nu igen:

"The current situation in medicine where everybody knows that the system has been completely corrupted, but nobody wants to change always reminds me of the song ‘Everybody Knows’ by Leonard Cohen. Huge amounts of $$$ have corrupted universities, researcher, doctors, and everybody knows. But why do we still allow it to happen?"
