The Truth About Drug Companies
In a book review in The Sydney Morning Herald September 2005, Gail Bell explores the issues raised in The Truth About Drug Companies by Marcia Angell, M.D., published by Scribe.
So what is [Angell] angry about? Sub-standard clinical trials. Data manipulation. Disproportionate drug company influence in medical education. Inflated drug costs. Untrue claims about investment in research and development. An ineffectual industry watchdog (the American FDA) and a rubber stamp Patent Office that prints the licences for big pharma to make money.
