today are not being tested as they should be before being released to the public. I disagree that it is impossible to foresee serious side effects like those with Avandia. Drugs companies are supposed to run tests in control groups over an extended period for this very reason. The shame is that they now value money more than human life and their cost benefits and risk assessments are increasingly akin to the Ford Pinto school of thought--sell damaged goods, make money and pay the few who die from known risks.
ON EDIT: Are you saying that you would have prescribed Avandia?
