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 a growing
number of deaths and disabilities. Healy, who was the first to draw
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 rather 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, so that they must overhype benefits and deny
real hazards. Healy further explains why these trends have
basically ended the possibility of universal health care in the
United States and elsewhere around the world. He concludes with
suggestions for reform of our currently corrupted evidence-based
medical system.
