by Jerome P. Kassirer
As the former editor-in-chief of "The New England Journal of Medicine" reveals in this shocking expos, innocuous-seeming gifts from drug companies to physicians are just the tip of an iceberg that is distorting the practice of medicine and jeopardizing the health of Americans today.
Summary
We all know that doctors accept gifts from drug companies, ranging from pens and coffee mugs to free vacations at luxurious resorts. But as the former Editor-in-Chief of The New England Journal of Medicine reveals in this shocking expose, these innocuous-seeming gifts are just the tip of aniceberg that is distorting the practice of medicine and jeopardizing the health of millions of Americans today. In On the Take, Dr. Jerome Kassirer offers an unsettling look at the pervasive payoffs that physicians take from big drug companies and other medical suppliers, arguing that the billion-dollar onslaught of industry money has deflected many physicians' moral compasses and directly impacted theeveryday care we receive from the doctors and institutions we trust most. Underscored by countless chilling untold stories, the book illuminates the financial connections between the wealthy companies that make drugs and the doctors who prescribe them...
First line
MOST PHYSICIANS WORK HARD, DEDICATE themselves to their patients, and preserve their professional rectitude.
