"Sarah Crichton books."

Creating disease -- Midwestern medicine show -- Chemical imbalance -- The early years -- An awakening : the age of the blockbuster -- Ghostwriters and secret studies -- "Neurontin for everything" -- Altered state -- Deadly doses.

The author shows how corporate salesmanship has triumphed over science inside the biggest pharmaceutical companies and, in turn, how this promotion driven industry has taken over the practice of medicine and is changing American life.
