Well... Im not sure really. The ADHD thing was just an example. I was thinking more along the lines of the influence pharmaceutical companies have over doctors, who ultimately prescribe the medication. In Australia, it was widely percieved that sales reps from Pharmaceutical companies routinely took doctors on jollies and gave them gifts.
Im interested in the political influence exerted by pharmaceutical companies, and the possibility that profit making comes ahead of developing and distributing medication that could really change things. Im interested in how the so called "Pharma lobby" can influence prices of drugs.
I want to know how anyone can think its right to advertise prescription drugs directly to the consumer.
All seems pretty fucken bent to me.
