Powerful Medicines: The Benefits, Risks, and Costs of Prescription Drugs Author Jerry Avorn on Book TV
Jerry Avorn is professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School as well as the author of "Powerful Medicines: The Benefits, Risks, and Costs of Prescription Drugs." In it, he explains how prescription medicine needs to be evaluated on three levels: the benefits it offers patients, the side effects experienced by these patients, and the economic impact of the medicine. The author writes that this is important because he believes that it is those factors which keep the United States from developing and enacting a more cost-effective and universal system of healthcare.
