The top ranting subjects of 2003

27 Dec
2003

I started thinking recently about the major impact medical stories of 2003. This is a work in progress, and I need your help. This rant will just list (in no particular order) stories which captivated me and the commenters this year. I plan to consider them all week, and elicit your opinions. On New Year’s I will put them in order with some comments.


The Malpractice Crisis
The Medicare Bill
The safety and efficacy of dietary supplements
The pharmaceutical industry in general
Importing drugs from Canada
Medical marijuana
The time pressures on generalist practice
Providing and measuring quality of care
Alternate payment structures – retainer medicine, cash only practices
SARS
The influenza epidemic
The increase in new HIV cases in the US
Obesity
Preventing type II diabetes mellitus
The COMET study (carvedilol vs. metoprolol for CHF)

Which stories do you find most interesting and important? Thanks in advance for your opinions!

The following story pertains to Britain.  It will be interesting to see what — if anything — the FDA will do in the US:


Drugs for depressed children banned

Modern antidepressant drugs which have made billions for the pharmaceutical industry will be banned from use in children today because of evidence, suppressed for years, that they can cause young patients to become suicidal.

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) told doctors last night not to prescribe all but one of the antidepressants known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).

The exception is Prozac, which is licensed for use in depressed children in the US.  But the MHRA will warn that, at best, it helps only one child in 10.

My pick is ALLHAT, as an example of everything that’s wrong with the mixing of scientific discourse and popular debate.
