Presentation Transcript

  1. A randomly (un)controlled trial on the pervasive, insidious, and destructive ways in which the pharmaceutical industry sells America on the idea that we are all deathly sick, suffering from a congenital deficit in the “me too” drugs they are peddling...and the equally sad ways in which medicine has bought into this notion, one “free” lunch, gift, and gimmick at a time. From Pharmaceuticalization ...to... PharmFreedom

  2. Thanks to Nexium, we can afford soap, though our patients are going broke (it rhymes)‏

  3. I wonder if the Levitra reps. specifically asked to have their cup filled with “erect” straws???

  4. No more boring tape dispensers, thanks to Byetta!

  5. Nothing says class like having an IUD-branded bag!

  6. But it's not just in our clinics...

  7. Here's an idea for Pfizer: maybe, just once in a while, put some attention to real diseases that kill people – malaria, TB, diarrheal diseases...

  8. Yes, sadly, even the sauce for the falafel at this church potluck served to remind us of this overly-expensive blood pressure medicine!

  9. A night at the movies, with popcorn and...Lilly???

  10. Which brings us to the happier part of this slide show...

  11. Reclaiming the ethics of medicine by Removing conflicts of interest, and Restoring the sanctity of the patient- physician relationship

  17. A PharmFree lunch break, spent buying a $5.99 clock for the clinic ‏

  18. Check out this 100-horsepower PharmFree machine!

  19. Sometimes, heavy machinery is required!

  20. This little number was done in the ID clinic...

  21. This was a great test of resourcefulness – a napkin, a pen, and an ecumenical holiday greeting!

  22. Celebrating the notion that drugs would be made and prescribed to treat disease and save lives...not to make stockholders smile...and certainly because doctors didn't resist the bribes thrown at them! www.pharmfree.org PharmFreedom:

  23. Disclaimer: The author reports the following conflicts of interest pertinent to the conceptualization and analysis of this study - 1) Moral funding from all of the physicians and physicians-in-training who have pledged to take no gifts from industry,to seek unbiased sources of education, and to put patients first. 2) Emotional/spiritual funding from each and every patient who has trusted me with their bodies, lives, and health, expecting that, in return, I would honor their gift by protecting the integrity of the patient-physician relationship at all costs.
