If you believe Western medicine is firmly developed along the line of evidence-based science, think again. This extended piece of investigative journalism reveals the comprehensive corruption of this ideal, to the point where selfish business interests seem so endemic, ingrained and even encouraged that it's almost a hopeless case. The author, a GP himself, does offer some basic fixes but in a world where money talks (and talks loudly at that) even these look optimistic.
