May survey: what you think of Dr. Scott Gottlieb Question Title * 1. We’d like to know what you think of Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the man chosen by President Trump (and recently confirmed by the US Senate) to head the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA). Dr. Gottlieb has done a TON of paid consulting work for pharmaceutical companies over the years, leading many to believe that his decision-making will be biased. But he also believes strongly in streamlining the approval process for new drugs and devices (including allowing for the promotion of off-label uses), which could lower costs and help bring products to market much sooner. Tell us what you think: I don’t trust anyone whose hands are in the pockets of big pharma. If he can help bring better treatments to market sooner, that’s all that matters. He won’t make a difference. He’s just a cog in a big dysfunctional machine. Submit
