Ghostwritten medical practice “guidelines” is not a U.S.-centric problem. The U.S. would do well to pull ALL of its “guidelines”, and start from scratch. They are completely biased, conflicted, and bogus, promoting the interests of pharma, not the patient! The Aussies are leading the way on this one.

We’re on a fast track from leader to laughing stock in many aspects of medicine.

Hurray for the Aussies and any other place where guidelines and treatment recommendations are based first and foremost on what’s best for those being treated.

It isn’t going to be too long before American consumers start comparing the guidelines here with those in other places–maybe that will compel changes.

I won’t even get started on the Biederman topic because I don’t have all day.

biederman- what a great doctor he is.

From Wiki:

Dr. Biederman was the recipient of the 1998 NAMI Exemplary Psychiatrist award. He was also selected by the Massachusetts Psychiatric Society Awards committee as the recipient of the 2007 Outstanding Psychiatrist Award for Research. In 2007, Dr. Biederman received the Excellence in Research Award from the New England Council of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. He was also awarded the Mentorship Award from the Department of Psychiatry at the Massachusetts General Hospital.

NAMI and Biederman Love
