I've been asked before to blog on health care and the Pharma industry, and accused of being unwilling to subject my own industry to scrutiny. The truth is, it's difficult for me to write about something that I'm entrenched in, because I don't know when to stop. Also, there are other, better bloggers than I who've attacked this subject, so I'm using this spot to highlight them.I have written a little on this, and here is my Amazon "How to" on this subject. My writings for RAPS are here (membership required)
