David Healy (Cardiff University). Pharmageddon (University of California Press, 2012).
“David Healy’s
comprehensive and forceful argument against the pharmaceuticalization of
medicine is a searing indictment of problems in health care that are
leading to a growing number of deaths and disabilities. Healy…
attributes our current state of affairs to three key factors: product
rather than process patents on drugs, the classification of certain
drugs as prescription-only, and industry-controlled drug trials.”
