为什么值得读
- 揭露药企在广告营销而非研发上的巨额开销
- 展现制药利益输送对医生处方行为的隐秘影响
- 以专业医学视角审视药物研发与临床证据真伪
我们总愿意相信医学是建立在证据和公正试验结果的基础之上的。然而在现实中，这些试验往往存在严重的缺陷。我们总愿意相信医生熟悉某种药物的研究文献，然而在现实中，许多研究都被制药公司对他们刻意隐瞒。我们总愿意相信医生接受的是客观公正的教育，然而在现实中，他们的教育大部分由制药行业资助。我们总愿意相信监管机构只允许有效药物上市，然而在现实中，他们批准了毫无用处的药物，而关于副作用的数据却被漫不经心地

我刚听完了本·戈尔达克（Ben Goldacre）的《制药巨头的谎言》（Bad Pharma），里面讨论的就是这个问题。作者本职是医生，所以他对制药业如何搞所谓的“科学”、以及这如何影响医生和患者有着局内人的视角。那种缺乏……
I just listened to the book Bad Pharma, by Ben Goldacre, which deals with this problem. The author works as a doctor and so has a bit of an inside view of how the industry does 'science' and how this affects doctors and patients. The lack…
关于药企给医生打钱这事，我最喜欢的一条花絮出自本·戈尔达克的书《制药巨头的谎言》（Bad Pharma）。根据一项调查，大多数医生都认为医生收药企的钱绝对会影响其开药选择，但是，这只适用于“别的医生”。每个医生都坚信……
My favorite tidbit about pharma payments to physicians comes from Ben Goldacre's book, Bad Pharma. Based on a survey, most physicians think that the money doctors receive from pharma definitely affects their prescribing choices, HOWEVER, that only applies to other doctors. Each doctor is convinced…
我觉得药企在药物研发上的投入根本没有我们想象的那么多。他们绝大部分钱都花在广告推广以及激励医生开他们的药上了。那本《制药巨头的谎言》（Bad Pharma）[1] 真是让人大开眼界。一款“索非布韦”（Sovaldi）就能让他们每个季度赚大约28亿美元，一年将近120亿美元。我才不信他们研发这药花了几百亿。[2]……
I don't think companies spend as much as we believe in researching drugs. Companies spend most on advertising and incentivizing the doctors to prescribe their medicines. The book: Bad Pharma [1] is an eye opener. The drug "Sovaldi" is making them $2.8ish billion dollars per quarter, that is almost $12 billion a year. I don't believe they spent tens of billions in developing the drug. [2]…
本·戈尔达克的《制药巨头的谎言》（Bad Pharma，http://www.amazon.com/Bad-Pharma-Companies-Mislead-Patients/... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bad-Pharma-companies-mislead-patient... ）也涉及了类似的内容。他是一名医生，主要写作领域是……
Ben Goldacre's Bad Pharma ( http://www.amazon.com/Bad-Pharma-Companies-Mislead-Patients/... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bad-Pharma-companies-mislead-patient... ) covers some of the same ground. He's a physician who writes mostly…
抗抑郁药对我也是一点用都没有。尽管我怀疑我唯一一次焦虑症发作很可能就是它们引起的。本·戈尔达克在他那本极好的书《制药巨头的谎言》（Bad Pharma）中也暗示过，抑郁症和五羟色胺水平之间的关联其实根本没有站得住脚的根据。给不知道的人科普一下，本·戈尔达克可不是什么打着科学旗号招摇撞骗的庸医……
Anti-depressants didn't ever do anything for me, either. Although I suspect that the only anxiety attack I've ever had could very well have been caused by them. In his awesome book Bad Pharma, Ben Goldacre also hints that the link between depression and serotonin levels is not very well established. For those of you that don't know, Ben Goldacre is not some quack that pretends that science…
我希望这个工具能被广泛使用，也希望《Private Eye》杂志能把它当成一个信息源。另外，如果有评论区的网友还没读过《伪科学》（Bad Science）以及本·戈尔达克（正是他激发了这个工具的灵感）的续作《制药巨头的谎言》（Bad Pharma），这两本书绝对值得一读。
I hope that this is widely used, and that Private Eye picks up on it as a source of information. Also if any commenters haven't read "Bad Science", and the follow-up "Bad Pharma" by Ben Goldachre (who inspired the tool) they are well worth a read.
