Dishonesty of Pharmaceutical Industry?

 "If the whole pharmacopeia were to be sunk to the bottom of seas, that will be that much good for people and that much worse for the fishes"

                                                                                                                                                                 - Oliver Wendell Holmes

 "There is no pill for every ill but there is definitely an ill following every pill"

                                                                                                                                 - Professor H.M.Hegde

 

"The pharmaceutical industry is the most lucrative, the most cynical and the least ethical of all the industries.  It is like an Octopus with tentacles that has infiltrated all the decision-making bodies, world health organizations, governments, parliaments, high administrations in health and hospitals and the medical profession."

                                                                                                 - Professor Philippe Evans, Director of Necker Institute, France

 

"In all, 26 companies, including eight of the 10 top players in the global industry, have been found to be acting dishonestly"

                                                                                                                                                             -  The New England Journal of Medicine
