Explores the controversial relationship between physicians and the pharmaceutical industry, and identifies the ethical tensions and controversies. This title proposes many reforms both for medicine's own professional integrity and for effective public regulation of the industry.
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.
