peter doshi :: Article Creator New Research Reports On Financial Entanglements Between FDA Chiefs And The Drug Industry An investigation published by The BMJ today raises concerns about financial entanglements between US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) chiefs and the drug and medical device companies they are responsible for regulating. Regulations prohibit FDA employees from holding financial interests in any FDA "significantly regulated organization" and the FDA says it takes conflicts of interest seriously, but Peter Doshi, senior editor at The BMJ, finds that financial interests with the drug industry are common among its leaders.

More than 17,000 service members balked at taking the shots,

Mráček struggled in med school until she was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder — and eventually found a home in pathology. (Brian Goldman/CBC) White Coat Black Art26:30The Real Good Doctor Dr. JJ Mráček knew since she was a kid that she would one day go to medical school. But once she got there, the journey was rockier than expected.  Despite previous success in school — including a master's degree in social work — Mráček struggled to find her footing in medicine. Exams proved harder than expected. She felt ostracized by peers who, she says, saw her as "too loud" for a hospital. A strong sense of justice, and a need for structure, led to conflict with
