Columbia University Loves That Pharma Money !

[Dark_Horse_Rider]

There is a channel called NY1 in metro area that just aired a commercial by Columbia University Hospital offering treatment for " Marijuana Abuse "

The advert seemed like the typical propoganda that has been spewed for the past decades.

Granted there are probably some people who do " abuse " cannabis, however, the side effects are probably trivial compared to the harm caused by alcohol and prescription pill " abuse "

So why not offer some real help, Columbia University Hospital ?

Instead of being the Pharma Family's bitch ?

Schools have lost their original purpose.

They seem to place their emphasis of prestige and profit instead of learning and comprehension.

Harvard Medical Students Rebel Against Pharma-Ties

200 Harvard Medical School STUDENTS are confronting the administration demanding an end to pharmaceutical industry influence in the classroom.
A front page report in the Business section of the New York Times should bestir some of Harvard Medical School alumni. 200 Harvard Medical School STUDENTS are confronting the administration demanding an end to pharmaceutical industry influence in the classroom.

"The students say they worry that pharmaceutical industry scandals in recent years - including some criminal convictions, billions of dollars in fines, proof of bias in research and publishing and false marketing claims - have cast a bad light on the medical profession. And they criticize Harvard as being less vigilant than other leading medical schools in monitoring potential financial conflicts by faculty members."

Harvard received the lowest grade--an F--from the American Medical Student Association, a national group that rates how well medical schools monitor and control drug industry money. Harvard Medical School's peers received much higher grades, ranging from the A for the University of Pennsylvania, to B's received by Stanford, Columbia and New York University, to the C for Yale.
