Ending Medical Reversal

Book • 2019

Vinayak K. Prasad

In 'Ending Medical Reversal', Drs. Prasad and Cifu delve into the phenomenon of medical reversals, examining why ineffective or harmful practices are adopted and later abandoned.

They provide examples such as Vioxx and vertebroplasty, and propose reforms in medical education, research, and drug approval processes to ensure more effective medical practices.
