Confronting the Pharmaceutical Industry with Dr. John Abramson

Our guest, Dr. John Abramson, a highly-regarded family practitioner and former Harvard Medical School educator, uncovers the alarming facts concealed behind the benign facade of the medical industry.

Discover the pervasive commercialization and manipulation of information that now pervades medical research and academia. Dr. Abramson lays bare the startling greed-driven narrative and shines a light on the unnerving realities, including the heavy influence of the pharmaceutical industry on medical publications and the dubious authenticity of even peer-reviewed articles.

Furthermore, we dive into the implications of the pharmaceutical industry's stronghold over the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the controversial 'FDA approved' label, and its impacts on healthcare quality. Dr. Abramson unmasks the tragic consequences of industry dominance as well, with a staggering 1.1 million Americans in excess of death rates in other affluent countries in 2021 due to medical manipulations.

We also examine the growing disillusionment among medical students and the alarming trend of doctors abandoning their practices – a looming healthcare crisis rooted in the prioritization of profits over patient care.

This episode delivers a strong message about the necessity for an enlightened understanding of the commercial interests shaping our current medical practice. With a focus on empowering patients and educating physicians, Dr. Abramson signifies why it's essential to break free from commercial influences on health and wellbeing.
