Both drug company representatives and doctors employ artful spin to portray this behavior positively to the public, and to themselves. In Hooked, Howard Brody argues that we can neither understand the problem, nor propose helpful solutions until we identify the many levels of activity connecting these purportedly noble industries. We can pass laws and enact regulations, but ultimately the medical profession must take responsibility for its own integrity. Hooked is a wake-up call for anyone expecting high quality, ethical medical care.Country/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: Explorations in Bioethics and the Medical HumanitiesTopic: Technology & EngineeringRelease Year: 2006 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
