Big Pharma paying Big Bucks to Big Profs., April 7, 2011
This review is from: Recognition and Treatment of Psychiatric Disorders: A Psychopharmacology Handbook for Primary Care (Paperback)
But the drug maker, then known as SmithKline Beecham, actually had much more involvement than the book described, newly disclosed documents show. The grant paid for a writing company to develop the outline and text for the two named authors, the documents show, and then the writing company said it planned to show three drafts directly to the pharmaceutical company for comments and proposed a timeline for the writing company to furnish the doctors and SmithKline with draft text and final page proofs for approval.
"That doesn't sound unrestricted to me," Dr. Bernard Lo, a medical ethicist and chairman of an Institute of Medicine group that wrote a 2009 report on conflicts of interest, said after reviewing the documents. "That sounds like they have ultimate control." - The New York Times By DUFF WILSON Published: November 29, 2010
