Medicine, changes and intimidation

Great to learn from professor Robert Clancy. Every time I learn so much. Robert is a consultant physician and pioneering immunologist, professor of medicine, emeritus professor of pathology, doctor of medicine, doctor of philosophy and doctor of science, author, teacher and broadcaster. Also holder of the Order of Australia. Has medicine changed in the past few years, influenced by powerful commercial and political forces? Is WHO a threat to independent local health systems? You emphasise the doctor-patient relationship, and science-based medicine. Why are these important? Is there a concern over conflict of interest created by grants and payments from pharmaceutical companies? What is the current position of the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration for off-label use? Is this COI related to trial results?
