| 520 | |a Abramson combines patient stories with what he learned during many years of serving as an expert in national drug litigation, and reveals the tangled web of financial interest at the heart of the dysfunction in our health-care system. Big Pharma funds most clinical trials and therefore controls the research agenda, and withholds the real data as "corporate secrets." He shines a light on the dark underbelly of American health care-- and presents a path toward genuine reform. -- adapted from jacket | ||
