Well done. I too would like to believe that “this exposure might mean the end of medical ghostwriting and the swift punishment of the guilty” but I’m afraid we seriously under-estimate the money at stake for Big Pharma here.

Cut poor Dr. Sherwin some slack!

Love your site, writing style, and unique perspective. It appears that there are enough academics for sale so that drugmakers don’t have too much trouble lining them up to take credit for their ghostwritten journal articles, which is good news for both parties.

I continue to follow “news” about Dr. Barbara Sherwin and I wonder how this scandal has affected her credibility in academia now. I was checking back on ‘THE NAG” on a regular basis, but just discovered your subscription feature so I’ve signed up – thanks.
