Pharmageddon

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.”
