At first, I thought what’s the big deal – aren’t these ‘writers’ just helping out doctors who are not necessarily effective writers? But the more I read, and then after I read all your essays in medical ghostwriting category here, I became very upset.

Sounds like this has become so entrenched in academia that doctors don’t even get it, all the better for drug companies to entice them to participate in what is clearly fraudulent attribution, just part of their product marketing plan.

I’ll be subscribing to your site. Please keep those updates on medical ghostwriting coming.

As you say, biggest danger here is that doctors read these journal articles or – even worse! – are “educated” by their industry-paid peers at conferences or CME training and actually change their practice of medicine based on what the drug companies want them to believe.

Only scratching the surface, I’m afraid. This is only the info we know about, so it makes one wonder how much is out of sight/out of mind.
