Abstract

The Introduction and Overview will contain a bold statement of the essay themes. Next the section on Entanglement will look at the many forms of doctor-drug company relationships, and the evidence for how these can distort practice. Selling Sickness will briefly explore the way doctor-drug company relationships are important to the widening of boundaries of treatable illness. And finally, Disclosure to Disentanglement will look at self-regulatory and statutory attempts around the world to get more independence in the relationship between doctors and drug companies.
