Lessons from Jon Barron FDA Missteps    In this week's excerpt from Lessons from the Miracle Doctors, Jon Barron talks about some FDA missteps. "In 2006, the Union of Concerned Scientists published the results of a survey of 1,000 doctors who work for the FDA. The results were disturbing to say the least: Almost one in five (18 percent) responded, "I have been asked, for nonscientific reasons, to inappropriately exclude or alter technical information or my conclusions in an FDA scientific document." More than three in five (61 percent) knew of cases in which "Department of Health and Human Services or FDA political appointees have inappropriately injected themselves into FDA determinations or actions." Three in five (60 percent) also knew of cases "where commercial interests have inappropriately induced or attempted to induce the reversal, withdrawal, or modification of FDA determinations or actions." Fifty percent also felt that nongovernmental interests (such as advocacy groups) had induced or attempted to induce such changes. Less than half of them (49 percent) agreed that "FDA leadership is as committed to product safety as it is to bringing products to the market." -- We hope you enjoyed this week's excerpt from Lessons from the Miracle Doctors. Next week, we'll take a look at some of the conflicts of interest associated with government regulators.
