That's a LOONNNNNGGG read, but really interesting. I didn't get all the way through... maybe 2/3, but some fascinating anecdotes regarding the major medical journals.
This is the same Richard Smith who has the youtube video saying (essentially) "Blow it all up. The major medical journals are useless," correct? I didn't get that feeling in this piece and some of the stories made me think better of the journals than I might have beforehand. OTOH... some of the stories made me hate them all over again.
