Guest guest Posted May 24, 2002 Report Share Posted May 24, 2002 I saw no implication in Marjorie's posts that Dr. Draelos was directly bribed into fraud, but was she not paid by your company to conduct the " independent " study? I suspect you would be in no hurry to use her again if her findings were less than favourable. I'm not sure if Marjorie, as an emergency clinician, has much direct contact with pharmaceutical companies trying to sell her their products, but I assure you I have to deal with them daily. All of their representatives come armed to the teeth with " independent " research (financed by them) positively guaranteeing safety and efficacy. With an occasional exception, all the products turn out to be utterly useless, and in some cases dangerous. Forgive us our scepticism Dr. Pilcher, but you are part of an industry that has proven itself to be morally corrupt. Your job is to sell product. You are not governed by a strict code of professional ethics, as Marjorie and myself are. It is OUR job to protect patients from misleading research (not easy in these days of direct marketing to the consumer by drug companies), and it appears to me that Marjorie is doing an excellent job of it. Like her, I would love to find that you have a safe and effective product. The point is: Nothing we have read so far convinces us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
