First published 2013
Doctors believe medicine is based on fair tests and research. But Ben Goldacre reveals the shocking truth: drug trials are flawed, research is hidden, and regulators approve useless drugs. This is a murderous disaster hiding in plain sight. Goldacre untangles the details to show how data manipulation and research misconduct on a global scale harm us all. At its core, this book is a call to understand the system and demand change.
