Intimidation in the medical industry

CBC, Canada’s national public radio and television broadcaster, presents some of the best investigative reporting today. Intimidation by Pharmaceutical Companies uncovers disturbing reports by doctors who have been intimidated by pharmaceutical companies into keeping their discoveries of dangerous and lethal drug side effects quiet.

Intimidation is rampant in every area of medicine today, including cover-ups in the area of cosmetic surgery. Reports of complications related to certain procedures, techniques, and materials used in surgery are under-reported, if reported at all. The focus of this CBC podcast is on drugs, but this kind of intimidation is pervasive in every area of medicine today, especially where the most money is made. Click here to listen to the podcast.
