 "An article, written in August 2003,193 referred to a study by Leape et al by saying "lack of correct patient-specific and lack of correct medication-specific information were the two leading causes of prescribing errors."194 And lack there is! Sounds a lot like Russian roulette with drugs. There is absence of data on medication errors and yet the psychiatrist continues to prescribe.
The sorts of errors that can happen are numerous. A wrong drug may be prescribed. It may interact with other drugs the patient is already taking and create a bad reaction. Or it could be a wrong dosage."- Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.) |
 "Don't expect to heat prescribing errors openly admitted, despite the frightening statistics in the earlier chapter about physician prescribing errors. Many doctors are hesitant to tell patients about prescribing errors, even when they were made by other doctors. However, that doesn't mean that doctors won't correct a prescribing error if they observe one while reviewing your medication. Doctors who really think, "Why on earth is this patient on this medication?" are more likely ro say something like, "Lets see how well you do without this drug."- Thomas J. Moore, Prescription For Disaster: Dangers In Your Medicine Cabinet (Get the book.) |
 "The figures did not include prescribing errors or drug abuse, only those killed or adversely affected by what was supposed to be an accepted treatment and dose for their condition. This made doctors' prescriptions the sixth biggest cause of death in the United States behind heart disease, cancer, lung disease, strokes and accidents. These are the same doctors, within the same cartel-controlled medical industry, that condemn alternative therapies as dangerous quackery! Look at the way they treat cancer in the butchers' shops of conventional medicine."- David Icke, Icke David, Infinite Love Is the Only Truth: Everything Else Is Illusion (Get the book.) |
| "Finally, without collecting more systematic information about prescribing errors, it is hard to know exactly where to start. So how does this change?
First, we need better-informed and more vigilant consumers, with a better chance of getting prescribing errors fixed. Later chapters in this book will explain what consumers can do. Physicians are sensitive to what they hear from patients. Second, while few people in this era would suggest that the federal government ought to regulate doctors' prescribing practices, it should collect information about the most dangerous and common problems." - Thomas J. Moore, Prescription For Disaster: Dangers In Your Medicine Cabinet (Get the book.) |
