Özet
Following the bestselling Bad Science, which mercilessly exposed the evils of bogus, pseudo-scientific remedies, Ben Goldacre puts the global pharmaceutical industry under the microscope
The $600 billion pharmaceutical industry spends more on marketing than it does on research and development. It distorts and suppresses the results of clinical trials if they are unfavourable. New diseases are invented in order to swell profits.
Doctors are kept in the dark about which drugs are the best for their patients. Patients’ pressure groups are covertly sponsored by pill manufacturers.
Authoritative-looking journals can be nothing more than disguised advertising brochures. Papers, supposedly by respected academics, are in fact ghostwritten by drugs companies.
The offences are countless and the consequences are felt by us all. What we trust to cure us may be utterly ineffectual or actually harmful.©2012 Ben Goldacre (P)2012 W F Howes Ltd

Having previously read Bad Science, I found Bad Pharma was a step away from an almost comic (though necessary) rant at the anti-science elements of society, toward a rage-inducing, all-encompassing deconstruction of everything that it wrong with Big Pharma. The best part of which is its simplicity.
This book was needed by society. Our personal and economic health depend on the best medications and reliable data. Lack of trust between the populace and Big Pharma only serves to push people toward the grips of AltMed and its brimming coffers.

Give it a go, it really is very good and doesn't require any scientific knowledge to understand (a rare trick for the author to achieve in this field). It might make you justifiably angry though.
Enlightening and eye-opening.

What did you like most about Bad Pharma?
The clear and no nonsense tackling of the subject matter makes Bad Pharma an easy to follow book that takes on some very complex ideas and issues. Ben's writing and the audio performance of it keeps the material fascinating and engaging throughout.What other book might you compare Bad Pharma to, and why?
This book lifts the lid on an industry that spends a fortune on promoting an outward image of competence and trust worthiness and exposes some very real issues that go to the heart of many segments of the pharmaceutical industry.In that respect I'd compare this to Felicity Lawrence's "Not on the Label" who does a similar job with the food industry.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
This isn't really a book of scene's so much as a progression through a narrative documentation of the problems with a system and the players within it. As such the whole book feels like a whole entity with no favourite scene to be taken out of context.A clear & fascinating breakdown of complex issues.
