JAMA should take lessons in avoiding bullying

There is no doubt that the last paper in JAMA by Rothman and Chimonas (two sociologists and not physicians) represents the latest of a series of initimidation and bullying attempts at separating physicians from industry partners. It remains a puzzle why not more physicians are outraged by a McCarthysm article like this, and why JAMA allows for this to be publsihed. The problem is now greater given this is more than opinion, it is a thinly veiled threat! Read and get angry!
