The Archers: Rob and Helen

April 12, 2016 18 Comments

Rob and Helen from The Archers

Editorial Note: There is no-one I know who admits to listening to The Archers. But everyone in Britain knows of it - the longest running British radio soap. It begins with a horrible theme tune that has me hitting off instantly. But all changed in the last week or two. The Archers is now featuring on the news and in the newspapers. The build-up began nearly two years ago … [Read more...] about The Archers: Rob and Helen

Study 329: Response to Keller & Colleagues

April 6, 2016 11 Comments

AllData

Editorial Note: This post offers our response to the Keller letter. It was published in BMJ in early February. Again all material is available on Study329.org. The response does not make much of the fact that not all of the Als in Keller et al have lined up to sign their letter. One of the intriguing points in all this is tracking the line taken by GSK and by Keller and … [Read more...] about Study 329: Response to Keller & Colleagues

Study 329: Republic to Empire

March 16, 2016 13 Comments

GSK House

Editorial Note: This post is from Sally MacGregor. In depositions and lectures I commonly state that I have had more support and information from colleagues working for industry than from clinical colleagues. I loved the analysis of the derailment of medicine and research through the comparison between a Republican and Empire structure, and the take-over of the former by the … [Read more...] about Study 329: Republic to Empire

Papilla Estela by Remedios Varo

Ed Note: This is the fifth and penultimate post in Laurie Oakley's Pharmaceutical Rape series. Pharmaceutical violence is a social injustice that can intersect with every other type of oppression and form of discrimination.

Pharmaceutical Rape: Doctors still know best

February 8, 2016 30 Comments

Editorial Note: This is part 4 of Laurie Oakley's series on Pharmaceutical Rape. Many who experience life-altering, adverse outcomes after taking their medicines as prescribed do not receive acknowledgment of what they have experienced, let alone the medical care they need. Medical systems do not recognize many treatment related outcomes and patients are therefore denied … [Read more...] about Pharmaceutical Rape: Doctors still know best

Pharmaceutical Rape: The Good Patient

February 1, 2016 36 Comments

Useless Science

This is part 3 of Laurie Oakley's series on Pharmaceutical Rape. In our society We learn a social script in which a “good patient” obeys the orders of doctors as authority figures. The ideal patient is a passive patient, subordinate to the physician. We are expected to relate to doctors as experts whose judgment we should trust when being prescribed medication. Because of … [Read more...] about Pharmaceutical Rape: The Good Patient
