Smith's book is based on years of painstaking research. He interviews dozens of whistleblowers, industry insiders, and experts. He uncovers a web of corruption that reaches the highest levels of the pharmaceutical industry, from the executives who make the decisions to the doctors who prescribe the drugs.

One of the most disturbing things that Smith reveals is the way that the pharmaceutical industry manipulates the science to make its drugs look more effective and safe than they actually are. He shows how drug companies cherry-pick data from clinical trials, hide negative results, and even pay doctors to promote their drugs.

The result of all this deception is that patients are often prescribed drugs that are ineffective or even dangerous. In some cases, these drugs can lead to serious side effects, including death. Smith's book is a wake-up call for patients and consumers. It's a reminder that we need to be vigilant about the drugs we take and the companies that make them.

Here are just a few of the shocking revelations that Smith uncovers in his book:

Drug companies routinely bribe doctors to prescribe their drugs.
Drug companies pay millions of dollars to patient advocacy groups to promote their drugs.
Drug companies hide negative results from clinical trials.
Drug companies create and market new drugs without adequate testing.
Drug companies put profits ahead of patients' safety.

Drugs, Money, and Secret Handshakes is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the pharmaceutical industry and the impact it has on our health. It's a wake-up call for patients and consumers, and a reminder that we need to be vigilant about the drugs we take and the companies that make them.
