  A comment on Talk: Ben Goldacre: What doctors don't know about the drugs they prescribe

  Oct 6 2012: One of my teachers in medical school told me not to expect to get rich fast when you choose to embark on medical profession. There are endless stories about malpractices in the medical field and about the huge impact of the pharmaceutical industry on doctor's prescription here in Vietnam. Yet, it is only part of an enormous system of corruption which exists everywhere in the world. In this case, the speaker was very brave to raise his voice against the majority but it is obviously that we need much more voice to be able to create a change in the whole healthcare system. It's just similar when we try to find out how much time it takes to change a culture.
