However, while people may have an idea of what liability is, they may not know all the ins and outs of it. So, this Pleading Ignorance discusses liability and some of the forms [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the last year or so, there&#8217;s been some discussion in the media about &#8220;preemption.&#8221; So, I thought I&#8217;d take this opportunity to explain preemption and why it&#8217;s important (specifically, why and how it affects you). 
In legal-speak, preemption is based on the Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution. That clause states that some matters are [...]]]></description>

Last week, we saw how pharmaceutical companies target medical professionals in their marketing. This week, Pleading Ignorance looks at how they target you, the patient. 
When you are targeted in an advertisement or marketing plan for pharmaceuticals, that&#8217;s called direct-to-consumer advertising (DTCA). Now, it may seem a bit silly for pharmaceutical companies to target patients—after all, the patient [...]]]></description>

This week, I thought I&#8217;d take a slightly more in-depth look at drug marketing—starting with how pharmaceutical companies market drugs to doctors. You sort of already know how drugs are marketed to consumers (i.e., YOU) because you see the ads. But pharmaceutical marketing [...]]]></description>
