This searing indictment, David Healy’s most comprehensive and forceful argument against the pharmaceuticalization of medicine, tackles problems in health care that are leading to an increasing number of deaths and disabilities. Healy, who used to be the first to attract attention to the now well-publicized suicide-inducing side effects of many anti-depressants, attributes our current state of affairs to three key factors: product relatively than process patents on drugs, the classification of certain drugs as prescription-only, and industry-controlled drug trials. These developments have tied the survival of pharmaceutical companies to the development of blockbuster drugs, in order that they should overhype benefits and deny real hazards. Healy further explains why these trends have basically ended the opportunity of universal health care in the USA and somewhere else around the globe. He concludes with suggestions for reform of our currently corrupted evidence-based medical system.
