Dr Jason Fung on Conflicts of Interest in the Medical Community

I want to draw people’s attention to this. This is shocking.

You are affected by this if:

  1. You see a doctor
  2. You go to hospital
  3. You are prescribed a drug
  4. You eat according to the dietary guidelines
  5. You interface with the medical community in any way

I am happily not affected by 1 through 5, however I’m going to watch this because I enjoy the occasional horror movie.

Additional:
6. You are going to interface with the medical community at some point in the future.

Not for as long as is humanly possible. I’m on 11 years now and that’s only because of a head injury.

As Prof. Noakes says, “You always tell yourself that taking their money doesn’t bias you, but it biases you.”
