A couple of doctors minimizing the ethical responsibility of doctors and the FDA
NOT ETHICAL and NOT 'NEWS.'
It's just crappy journalism.
The doctor that killed Michael Jackson got a few freaking years in prison...The docs who prescribe multiple psychiatric drugs concomitantly in KNOWN to be fatal, ineffective, or ill-advised dosages; and/or without Informed Consent; are allowed to continue "practicing medicine" after they kill patients. Most deaths resulting from psychiatric drugs are classified as "natural" deaths which is reprehensible. The acts of violence that FDA approved drugs are known to cause, are rarely reported.
via Plos ONE:
Results
We identified 1527 cases of violence disproportionally reported for 31 drugs. Primary suspect drugs included varenicline (an aid to smoking cessation), 11 antidepressants, 6 sedative/hypnotics and 3 drugs for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The evidence of an association was weaker and mixed for antipsychotic drugs and absent for all but 1 anticonvulsant/mood stabilizer. Two or fewer violence cases were reported for 435/484 (84.7%) of all evaluable drugs suggesting that an association with this adverse event is unlikely for these drugs.
Conclusions
Acts of violence towards others are a genuine and serious adverse drug event associated with a relatively small group of drugs. Varenicline, which increases the availability of dopamine, and antidepressants with serotonergic effects were the most strongly and consistently implicated drugs. Prospective studies to evaluate systematically this side effect are needed to establish the incidence, confirm differences among drugs and identify additional common features. here
This may explain why we have so many drugs on the market that are fatal:The FDA is there to serve the drug industry, not the public says Dr. David Graham of the FDA
