Here's a link from Blake to an article on Jay Cohen's Medication Sense site, discussing drug industry corruption of the medical profession. Dr. Cohen points out that it's not just a matter of individual physicians being influenced to push drugs inappropriately in exchange for the ball game tickets, the note pad and the triangular pen -- it goes right up the ladder to the highest levels of the medical institution.
I like Cohen's site, I hope you'll check it out.
Discussion of public health and health care policy, from a public health perspective. The U.S. spends more on medical services than any other country, but we get less for it. Major reasons include lack of universal access, unequal treatment, and underinvestment in public health and social welfare. We will critically examine the economics, politics and sociology of health and illness in the U.S. and the world.
