Human civilisation has met so many challenges.Man kind has enjoyed the benefits of modern medicine for over a century.Now comes the new threat.Threat from within.The onslaught of marketing force has contaminated the medical science .
It is widely recognised commerce is masquereading as science , from stem cell research to futile and costly drugs, and questionable devices and procedures .
Silence is the response ! Why silent ? Are we the part of the problem ? Occasional articles in the Annals of medicine, Lancet, BMJ, or JAMA talk about these issues and nothing happens next .
Let us hope the world financial crisis currently we are witnessing , would be good for human health as all futile market driven , enforced medical expenditure goes bust !
