Life Sciences General Biology: Smart funny clear unflinching Ben Goldacre is my hero Mary Roach author of Stiff Spook and Bonk Medicine is broken We like to imagine that it s based on evidence and the rests of fair tests In reality those tests are often profoundly flawed We like to imagine that doctors are familiar with the research literature surrounding a drug when in reality much of the research is hidden from them by drug companies We like to imagine that doctors are impartially educated when in reality much of their education is funded by industry We like to imagine that regators let only effective drugs onto the market when in reality they approve hopeless drugs with data on side effects casually withheld from doctors and patients All these problems have been protected from public scrutiny because they re too complex to capture in a sound bite But Dr Ben Goldacre shows that the true scale of this murderous disaster fly reveals itself only when the s are untangled He believes we shod all be able to understand precisely how data manipation works and how research misconduct on a global scale affects us In his own words the tricks and distortions documented in these pages are beautif intricate and fascinating in their s With Goldacre s characteristic flair and a forensic attention to Bad harma reveals a shockingly broken system and calls for something to be done This is the pharmaceutical industry as it has never been seen before
