| Description: |
A modern medical mystery about an illness that ravaged healthy children, changed policy, and vanished before a cause was found |
| Synopsis: |
This will be the first book-length history of Reye's syndrome, and there is nothing else outside of the professional medical literature that chronicles even part of the story that made headlines and caused panic in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.Keep Out of Reach of Children addresses many hot-button issues related to public health and the influence of the pharmaceutical industry on the regulation of medications and how their own private research affects public safety. Over the last decade, as notions about "manufacturing uncertainty" have arisen, the history of Reye's syndrome has become a textbook case study in how industries (in this case, aspirin manufacturers) assert that "we still don't know..." in order to avoid governmental regulation.Mark A. Largent is an expert medical historian, whose previous books also examined the intersections between medicine, business, public health, and politics. A survivor of Reye's syndrome himself, Largent is especially attuned to the difficulty families face in making decisions given conflicting information from their doctors, industry authorities, political leaders, and government officials. |
