The war may be over

And the drug companies have won. A piece well worth reading by Medpundit:

I’ve grown used to patients requesting drugs their friends have recommended. I’ve grown used to patients insisting that certain drugs are the best in their class, based on nothing more than television commercials. I’ve grown used to the cozy relationship between drug companies and medical celebrities. But, when my favorite cardiologist, a man I’ve known for years to be of sound judgement and character, starts telling my patients that Lipitor is the best statin, and that they should be taking medication for their “pre-hypertension,” – well, I’ll never get used to that.
