'Bad Science' hilariously exposed the tricks that quacks and
journalists use to distort science, becoming a 400,000 copy
bestseller. Now Ben Goldacre puts the $600bn global pharmaceutical
industry under the microscope. What he reveals is a fascinating,
terrifying mess. Doctors and patients need good scientific evidence
to make informed decisions. But instead, companies run bad trials
on their own drugs, which distort and exaggerate the benefits by
design. When these trials produce unflattering results, the data is
simply buried. All of this is perfectly legal. In fact, even
government regulators withhold vitally important data from the
people who need it most. Doctors and patient groups have stood by
too, and failed to protect us. Instead, they take money and
favours, in a world so fractured that medics and nurses are now
educated by the drugs industry. The result: patients are harmed in
huge numbers. Ben Goldacre is Britain's finest writer on the
science behind medicine, and 'Bad Pharma' is the book that finally
prompted Parliament to ask why all trial results aren't made
publicly available - this edition has been updated with the latest
news from the select committee hearings. Let the witty and
indefatigable Goldacre show you how medicine went wrong, and what
you can do to mend it.
