Medical Papers by Ghostwriters Pushed Therapy

Dear All

Please follow this link and read this startling story by Newyork times that How a Major Multinational company Wyeth paid ghostwriters who played a major role in producing 26 scientific papers backing the use of hormone replacement therapy in women.

This clearly suggest that the level of hidden industry influence on medical literature is broader than previously known
