The bad news is everywhere...death by prescription drugs. Michael
Jackson or Whitney Houston get the headlines. But there are
thousands of other people who suffer and die because of the wrong
prescription. This is one harrowing story about a father, a family,
a daughter. Fifteen year of Vanessa began taking Prepulsid after
her doctor prescribed the drug to alleviate a stomach disorder.
Suddenly, unexpectedly, she collapses and dies in her family home.
Confusion, grief, remorse get channeled by Terence Young into
determination to get to the root causes of his daughter’s death.
His investigations take him from Health Canada to the Corner’s
Office, from the sales people of major drug manufacturers to the
medical profession, from the legal profession to the courts. This
is a compelling story, a remarkably well-written and fully
documented book which takes you into the inner workings of the
global drug companies, the intricate relationships between the
pharmaceutical industries and the regulatory bodies of government,
the complicity of the medical profession and the tragic
consequences for the public. Terence H. Young’s deeply personal
story will affect every reader. Death by Prescription has also been
the subject of a documentary film.
