Accountability

The Australian Catalyst statins show breached ABC code A CONTROVERSIAL television program on heart disease breached the ABC’s standards on impartiality, an internal investigation has found.

Further investigations suggest that the experts featured in the episode had ulterior commercial interests. Meanwhile, people may have died as a result of that episode. If medical practitioners give incorrect recommendations, they may be liable for severe penalties including conviction for manslaughter. I am happy for others to give health advice if they are willing to face the same penalties.
