The December edition of
the Atlantic has 3 interesting pieces if you have any time left over after finishing Eli's weekend reading assignment.
- Carl Elliott has written a piece on ghostwriting in medical journals (free full text here). He notes that one large pharmaceutical company labelled it's ghostwriting campaign "Case Study Publication for Peer Review." Sounds like a boring campaign name until you look at the acronym (CASPPER). Not so friendly, this ghost, however.
- Megan Mcardle writes about information technology in medicine (or the lack thereof) in "Paging Dr. Luddite" (free full text here).
- An eye-opener by Robin Fields, "God Help You. You're on Dialysis," uncovers problems with quality and safety in outpatient dialysis centers and how little is being done about it (free full text here).
