P. Dawdy on BP Squared

Philip Dawdy, of Furious Seasons, has been blogging about atypical antipsychotics like Seroquel for about a year now. He's also written about it for his former employer, Seattle Weekly. This is his response to my discussion with HS:

the other guy to take a look at on seroquel is calabrese. he's on the same papers often and has been a public mouthpiece for az. i think HS is giving docs too much credit for being disinterested, and he needs to keep in mind the huge side effect problems around atypicals that have come out in the CATIE study.

Dawdy will be following up on all of this soon. Meanwhile, see the below to get a sense of his perspective:
