No, I've not read it, but to explain how I work, as a practicing physician I never had an interview with a drug salesman from the pharmaceutical companies. I relied solely on journal articles covering the drugs. Granted the articles could be tainted as you note, but the articles I used were review articles after the drugs had been introduced for awhile. -Yes Ben Goldacre ... implicated the journals quite explicitly.
But Goldacre would commend you from staying away from drug reps. Even if one tenth of his book is accurate ... it is pretty damning.-> So would I'm sure you had your tongue in your cheek as you wrote that.
Actually it was not.-But if you think the Discovery Institute is biased ... I personally would not cite them as a reference.-Incidently "your" Discovery Institute was aimed at dhw, now he might have reason to be defensive.-> > Romansh; Interesting that Ewert also graduated from Baylor.
> What does that comment mean?-Just that it is a coincidence that an American university I never have heard of before comes up two days running.-Just learning about Baylor and Ewert ... stumbled on this ...-http://boundedtheoretics.blogspot.ca/2011/03/charles-darwin-of-intelligent-design.html
