From the results of the current system of oversight one would have no problem whatsoever asserting that quantity does not equal quality...especially if one takes into consideration that doing the most amount of good for the most amount of people is paramount.
From what I see and read in credible media, bboards like these, and the research that is out there, much of the drugs and drug marketing is set up in such a cookie cutter, commercially driven fashion that there's any wonder the most and severe complaints are seen with the very drugs (modern AD's) that are a product of the present system. (see link in next post).
But if secrecy and quantitiy is what one's after instead of full disclosure and the least amount of harm being done to the least amount of patients, one can always stick with the present system.
The politics of medicine has shifted more to the "free market will solve everything" model at the patient's expense.
