  1. The Body Hunters
    Testing New Drugs on the World's Poorest Patients

    Resource Type: Book
    This is a review on the rise of drug companies as well as the difficulties of medical research ethics. Shaw states that companies make more money developing drugs to treat American heatburn than malaria drugs. Attempts to expose drug companies have failed because of litigation. There is no mention of where and what pharmaceuticals test on the "poorest patients". Her recommendation is that medicines should be regarded as "social goods" and as such.

    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 1977
    The Wellesley Hospital has come in for strong criticism in a brief written by a group of local residents, and presented to the hospital May 13 [1977]. The brief documents numerous complaints about the hospital, including Emergency Department staff attitudes, treatment of patients and their relatives and friends, follow-up and aftercare. It charges that although the hospital is a public institution, there is no visible or publicly known means of access to its policy makers, and no accountability to the community it is supposed to serve.
