Compelling reading – I just wish the powers-that-be could be as alarmed about drug marketing as they should be.

One wonders how this has been allowed to happen over the years. It used to be that I would get a prescription only when I needed a basic generic antibiotic for an ear infection or a lotion for a troubling rash. And I could trust that my doctor’s recommendation was not tainted by corporate kickbacks. Now there’s a drug for every condition or possible condition, even things that are not even medical disorders at all but “disease mongering” invented by the drug manufacturers. “Pervasive” indeed. Thanks for this links here.
