But as the former Editor-in-Chief of \u003cem\u003eThe New England Journal of Medicine\u003c\/em\u003e reveals in this shocking expose, these innocuous-seeming gifts are just the tip of an iceberg that is distorting the practice of medicine and jeopardizing the health of millions of Americans today. \u003cbr\u003e In \u003cem\u003eOn the Take\u003c\/em\u003e, Dr. Jerome Kassirer offers an unsettling look at the pervasive payoffs that physicians take from big drug companies and other medical suppliers, arguing that the billion-dollar onslaught of industry money has deflected many physicians' moral compasses and directly impacted the everyday care we receive from the doctors and institutions we trust most. Underscored by countless chilling untold stories, the book illuminates the financial connections between the wealthy companies that make drugs and the doctors who prescribe them. Kassirer details the shocking extent of these financial enticements and explains how they encourage bias, promote dangerously misleading medical information, raise the cost of medical care, and breed distrust.\u003cbr\u003e A brilliant diagnosis of an epidemic of greed, \u003cem\u003eOn the Take\u003c\/em\u003e offers insight into how we can cure the medical profession and restore our trust in doctors and hospitals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jerome P.
