"I would be interested to know what you think of Western Medicine in the light of what Ben Goldacre says about how clinical trials are conducted."
The benefit of Western Medicine is that we know these terrible things and can work around them. They are not the system working as should be practiced. Using a fictional modality to treat patients is not a preferable alternative. Reform, not revolution.
- ekianjo 14y agoI agree with you, but the current system shows no incentive to improve and to work around these issues. Regulators (because of the increased complexity) and Companies alike (because of the potential market losses) are unwilling to commit to do real science and to do the right thing. I do not think it is going to change anytime soon, even if we are all aware of the shortcomings.
- illuminate 14y agoI agree with all of these problems. I believe that the solution is to root out these inefficiencies and corruptions, not to replace them with a new set of inefficiencies and corruption and a wholly pseudoscientific core.
