Part of the trust implicit in the doctor-patient relationships is the understanding that prescription medications will behave as intended, curing or alieving the ailment prescribed for rather than causing unintended harm. One of the greatest dangers to this understanding is the negligence of drug companies that put products on the market with insufficient testing.
Oftentimes, a drug may pass FDA approval, but long-term effects and dangers of the drug can arise much later for the affected users. Once the overwhelming ill effects of a drug becomes apparent in medical cases and patients, the drug is recalled and thousands are left to deal with the consequences of drug company negligence.
