Drugs and the relationships between university, industry and legislation.
The situation in Britain between the drug industry and the government is compared with that in the United States of America. The aggravating effect of the Media is demonstrated and the contents of a letter submitted by the author to a British newspaper draws attention to the biased reporting which frequently occurs and to the deleterious effect this may have on patients. Means of improving the situation in Britain are suggested.
