Papantonio: Dysfunctional FDA in Big Pharma’s Pocket

This segment originally aired on the December 1st, 2013 episode of Ring of Fire on Free Speech TV. The medical profession has become an extension of Big Pharma – rather than fixing problems or even preventing them, they are trained to push as many pills as possible. Ring of Fire’s Mike Papantonio talks about this problem with Dr. Tom Schneider.
