The Interview Couch
Thomas Price watched with interest when he saw a figure climbing upon the scaffolding that covered the north tower of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Shortly thereafter, the climber appeared to fall, head downward. Thomas knew that it was unlikely that he could render help; very likely, the climber would have died upon impact with the pavement below. However, as a doctor, he felt that it was his duty to at least make the attempt.

A year after Jennifer's death, Detective Sergeant Liz Andresen of t...
Pharmageddon
This searing indictment, David Healy’s most comprehensive and forceful argument against the pharmaceuticalization of medicine, tackles problems in health care that are leading to a growing number of deaths and disabilities. Healy, who was the first to draw attention to the now well-publicized suicide-inducing side effects of many anti-depressants, attributes our current state of affairs to three key factors: product rather than process patents on drugs, the classification of certain drugs as prescription-only, and industry-controlled drug trials. These developments have tied the survival of pharmaceutical companies to the development of blockbuster drugs, so that they must overhype benefits and deny real hazards. Healy further explains why these trends have basically ended the possibility of universal health care in the United States and elsewhere around the world. He concludes with suggestions for reform of our currently corrupted evidence-based medical system.
