I' ve just watched the BBC news and saw blatant publicity placed by a drug
company for their new leukotriene inhibitor for asthma. I find this type of
manipulation quite upsetting as we have little/no time to make a balanced
judgement on any benefits or risks before the punters come in clutching
their papers etc.
Am I the only one who finds this a problem?
Can we find out who has the first patient asking about it?
I'm sure its an excellent drug which will transform peoples
lives..........without any side-effects.........but where have we heard that
before?
