Pharmageddon and Fertility

November 7, 2023 7 Comments

Pharmageddon by David Healy

This post needs reading in conjunction with Has Healthcare Gone Mad and A Medical Triumph.

Progressives see women getting more control over the … [Read more...] about Pharmageddon and Fertility

The talk will cover some of the points mentioned in the last post - Psychotropic … [Read more...] about Random or Mad

The Marketing of Anticholinergic Maleficence

September 18, 2023 2 Comments

  More than any other group of drugs in medicine, the anticholinergics have become Maleficent - blamed for the hedge of thorns that keeps our inner beauty asleep until some medical prince can fight his way through and put a Magic Wafer on our lips.- See Experts by Experience.

August 14, 2023 19 Comments

We thought there might be some response to our post Are Journalists the Answer to Clinical Medicine's Cause and Effect Problem, which, in the nicest possible way, accused The BMJ of cooking up the equivalent … [Read more...] about Not The BMJ News
