With America's health-care system in the midst of upheaval, and with government officials, physicians, and the public-at-large focused as never before on the cost and quality of these vital services, a hidden epidemic--medical malpractice--destroys hundreds of thousands of lives each year and is ignored by the majority of the medical establishment. Lethal Medicine is the first book to thoroughly examine malpractice, and its author, Harvey F. Wachsman, M.D., J.D., as both a respected neurosurgeon and the leading attorney in the field, is uniquely qualified to critique this problem from every angle. Using numerous case histories and authoritative data from university and government studies, Wachsman explodes the common myths that doctors are spending millions of dollars on "defensive medicine" and that the high cost of malpractice insurance is driving many doctors out of their practices. In fact, he argues that most malpractice cases actually do result from egregious abuses by doctors. Reviewing the latest court rulings and malpractice policies, Wachsman calls for the lgal community, government, and medical establishment to protect the public from the thousands of physicians who continue to practice irresponsible medicine without penalty. As Washington makes health care one of its highest priorities and the nation turns its attention to the issue, Lethal Medicine is a thoughtful yet urgent cry for reform by the nation's foremost expert on the topic.

"Deadly Medicine tells the dramatic story of a great tragedy involving a class of drugs still on the market. It reveals why the same medical system that brings us lifesaving treatments can create a catastrophe almost beyond imagining." "The story begins with a new heart drug created in the research laboratories of the 3M Company. In animals, this drug appears unusually effective in suppressing irregular heartbeats. Hoping for a blockbuster, 3M launches clinical tests in humans and plans how to seize the market from competing companies. But as medical researchers test Tambocor, as the drug is called, the first signs of potential trouble appear. At Stanford University, a doctor warns that this type of powerful drug may be dangerous. Other experiments fail to demonstrate the expected benefits of such drugs. But with the support of their clinical doctors and with millions of dollars invested in Tambocor, 3M moves ahead and seeks approval from the FDA. Other companies also follow suit with similar drugs." "Questions about the safety of Tambocor have already reached the medical review staff at the FDA in Washington, D.C., where a behind-the-scenes drama takes place. 3M presses for approval of Tambocor, while the FDA staff tries to interpret the meaning of reports that some patients who have taken the drug suddenly drop dead. Without a green light from the FDA, Tambocor may be doomed." "The final chapters in the story unfold as 3M gets to the marketplace and, using all the skills of a modern pharmaceutical manufacturer, persuades doctors to use Tambocor. At the same time, an important clinical trial begins. The National Institutes of Health launch an experiment with more than a thousand patients to measure the benefits of Tambocor and two similar drugs. The shocking results of that study and the response of the doctors and companies who promoted these drugs bring the tragedy to a powerful conclusion." "Deadly Medicine is a human story about the brilliant and driven doctors who worked on Tambocor and similar heart drugs - at pharmaceutical companies, within the FDA, and at university medical research centers. It provides a vivid and disturbing account of the system by which drugs are discovered, tested, and marketed to doctors. Through the tragic story of how tens of thousands of patients died prematurely from one class of heart drugs, Deadly Medicine also exposes major flaws in this system."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

"Miracle cure or lethal medicine? In 1949, chloramphenicol was hailed as the greatest drug since penicillin and proved amazingly effective against a host of previously untreatable deadly diseases. Marketed as Chloromycetin, it made its manufacturer, Parke-Davis, the largest pharmaceutical company in the world. But it was marred by a tragic flaw." "Three years later, in 1952, Dr. Albe Watkins, a California general practitioner, inadvertently killed his own ten-year-old son with chloramphenicol. After learning that Parke-Davis already knew about other chloramphenicol-related deaths, Watkins embarked on an extraordinary cross-country pilgrimage that led the Food and Drug Administration to launch one of the largest investigations in medical history." "Chloramphenicol saved too many lives to be taken off the market, but at the same time, it proved impossible to control. During three decades of FDA and American Medical Association warnings, half a dozen congressional hearings, and hundreds of lawsuits, doctors continued to prescribe the drug for trivial infections, needlessly killing more than a thousand people." "In the 1980s, potentially lethal chloramphenicol residues were detected in U.S. dairy and beef cattle. In the 1990s, the FDA has found the drug in imported shrimp." "How could this have happened? In seeking the answer to that question, Adverse Reactions provides a panoramic perspective over nearly half a century of the changing relationship among the pharmaceutical industry, the medical profession, the government, and patients, revealing how and why important decisions were made that affect us all today." "To tell both sides of the story, Thomas Maeder has interviewed hundreds of people, from the man who dug up the sample of Venezuelan compost in which chloramphenicol was discovered, to the company scientists and executives who developed and marketed it, FDA officials who investigated and regulated it, families bereaved by it, lawyers who fought the issues in court, legislators who sought to control it, and physicians who both used and misused it." "Adverse Reactions tells a gripping and profoundly disturbing story about the limits of corporate responsibility, government regulation, and medical knowledge."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

What happens when the race to stop a lethal bacteria becomes a race to stop a killer? Dr. Sara Miles’ teenage patient is on the brink of death from an overwhelming, highly resistant infection with Staph luciferus, known to doctors as “the killer.” Only an experimental antibiotic, developed and administered by Sara’s ex-husband can save the girl's life. But potentially lethal effects from the drug send Sara and her colleague, Dr. Rip Pearson, on a hunt for hidden critical data that will let them reverse the effects before it’s too late. What is the missing puzzle piece? And who is hiding it? "Lethal Remedy boasts a gripping medical plot that only an insider could write so believably... Dr. Mabry takes his knowledge of the medical profession, combines it with a ticking clock, and gives the reader a problem we'd all be terrified to face. What more could the reader of a good medical suspense ask for?" —Susan Sleeman, author of Behind The Badge and The Justice Agency series "Lethal Remedy is the perfect cure for boredom: a first-rate medical thriller with humor, engaging characters, and realism that only a seasoned doctor could bring to the story." --Rick Acker, author of When the Devil Whistles and Blood Brothers
