Good article on the role of advertising and particularly drug reps on physician prescribing practices. I personally experience this for my 40 years of medical practice. There are a lot of issues related to Ozempic related injuries, and other drugs, and consumers should be more aware of them. Physicians should pay more attention to warning their patients. You also mention the O'Donnell New edition. There are certainly a lot of other great articles in there. I have two articles in that edition, including an article on how to best determine whether a medication is actually responsible for an adverse event and not just coincidental. This topic is called causation. My second article is on the different types of liver injury that can occur from various medications. A lot of physicians are not fully aware of the rules of causation or the types of liver injury that meds and cause. For those that don't have access to this book, I have a number of articles that I placed here on my substack covering drug injury. I'm always happy to hear from people on the subject
