From Lown Institute: “On January 9th, 2019, the Lown Institute released the 2nd Annual Shkreli Awards, a list of the top ten worst actors in health care from the past year, named for the infamous ‘pharma bro’ Martin Shkreli.
A panel of esteemed patient activists, clinicians, and health care journalists weighed in on the final ranking of Shkreli nominees to choose the winners. The full list of winners, along with comments from the judges, is available on the Lown Institute website.
Who do we respect, now that all the “professionals” are no longer respectable?
Most alarming was the suggestion that this is just the tip of the iceberg. Why does it feel like trusting a doctor or hospital is a little like playing Russian roulette?
