Hooked : How Medicine's Dependence on the Pharmaceutical Industry Undermines Professional Ethics Hardback
by Howard Brody
Part of the Explorations in Bioethics and the Medical Humanities series
Hardback
Description
For decades, medical professionals have betrayed the public's trust by accepting various benefits from the pharmaceutical industry.
Both drug company representatives and doctors employ artful spin to portray this behavior positively to the public, and to themselves.
In Hooked, Howard Brody argues that we can neither understand the problem, nor propose helpful solutions until we identify the many levels of activity connecting these purportedly noble industries.
We can pass laws and enact regulations, but ultimately the medical profession must take responsibility for its own integrity.
Hooked is a wake-up call for anyone expecting high quality, ethical medical care.
