AUTHOR OF BAD SCIENCE
吾人總愛假想所有的藥物問世,都是遵照醫學證據,以及各項公平測試與臨床試驗後的最終結果。然而事實上,這些測試以及試驗卻往往錯誤百出。人們也傾向預設開立各種處方籤的醫師,打從抗憂鬱到抗癌再到心臟藥物,都能夠全盤瞭解相關藥物的研究文獻。但現實情況卻是,泰半的研究資料為藥廠所掩蓋而不為人知。我們也慣於假定醫生向來接受公正不阿的養成教育,但真相卻是多數醫師的學業為藥廠所贊助;同樣地,人們總認為管理機關能秉持倫理規範,並且只讓有效的藥品問市,然而再一次地,他們竟然批准一堆毫無療效的藥品,並且隱瞞藥物副作用的相關資料,不讓醫師與病患得知相關資訊。
藉著高達可獨樹一幟的卓越調查能力與專注於細節的刑事鑑識技巧,《小心壞藥廠》披露令人震驚的監管系統失能,並呼籲有關單位加強稽核管理。繼《小心壞科學》之後,班.高達可再次呈現世人未曾看過的醫藥界真相。
We like to imagine that medicine is based on evidence and the results of fair testing and clinical trials. In reality, those tests and trials are often profoundly flawed. We like to imagine that doctors who write prescriptions for everything from antidepressants to cancer drugs to heart medication are familiar with the research literature about a drug, when in reality much of the research is hidden from them by drug companies. We like to imagine that doctors are impartially educated, when in reality much of their education is funded by the pharmaceutical industry. We like to imagine that regulators have some code of ethics and let only effective drugs onto the market, when in reality they approve useless drugs, with data on side effects casually withheld from doctors and patients.
All these problems have been shielded from public scrutiny because they're too complex to capture in a sound bite. But Ben Goldacre shows that the true scale of this murderous disaster fully reveals itself only when the details are untangled. He believes we should all be able to understand precisely how data manipulation works and how research misconduct in the medical industry affects us on a global scale.
With Goldacre's characteristic flair and a forensic attention to detail, Bad Pharma reveals a shockingly broken system and calls for regulation. This is the pharmaceutical industry as it has never been seen before.
