Who benefits from plans to expand the definition of Alzheimer’s disease? Drug and testing companies, for sure. For people—who risk becoming patients—it’s less clear The plan to diagnose Alzheimer’s in people with no memory problems - Los Angeles Times latimes.com/science/story/…
Have a great memory? You may still be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s under a controversial plan by a group with heavy ties to pharma companies bit.ly/3SGlVg1
A bill that could decrease the estimated 5 million prescription errors made by California pharmacies each year now sits on @GavinNewsom's desk. Here is my story detailing how patients have been harmed by these mistakes lat.ms/3ZbcUyw
NYT with new evidence to support a story that @MelodyPetersen revealed in 2016.
Trial investigators can “earn phenomenal amounts” for the patients they recruit, but neither they nor their for-profit IRB will answer questions about their shady recruiting tactics.

Key read for anyone worried about #Alzheimer’s – including in people they care about. A grandmother, worried about her memory, signed herself up for a drug trial. Her family doesn’t believe she read the consent, which listed death as a risk #medicalethics lat.ms/3pzQmtZ
FDA orders immediate withdrawal of preterm birth drug Makena, saying it has risks but no benefit. Doctors have been injecting pregnant women with the synthetic hormone for 12 years. Pharma companies made hundreds of millions lat.ms/3UifvEi
Covis Pharma agreed today to voluntarily take Makena, a drug for preterm birth, off the market. Here’s my earlier story on how Covis and other co's profited by taking a decades-old med of questionable effectiveness and safety and getting FDA approval lat.ms/3IX6g75

A must read @AlpertReyes story: In California, doctors trained as pediatricians, OB-GYNs and other specialties can take on lucrative — and potentially risky — cosmetic surgeries. Some have branched out with little or no surgical training. latimes.com/science/story/…
California has sometimes barred physicians from performing cosmetic surgery, but “it’s always after the fact,” said a former president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. “You can do whatever you want until you kill somebody,” she said. latimes.com/science/story/…
California slashed climate pollution by an average of 1.5% annually between 2010 and 2021, but needs to start doing so by 4.6% a year to meet its 2030 climate goal, new report finds. Story by @MelodyPetersen: latimes.com/environment/st…
California has pledged to cut planet-heating emissions by 40% of 1990 levels by 2030, but the state is far from meeting that commitment, a new analysis shows. Based on the current trajectory, CA wouldn’t attain that goal until 2047. @MelodyPetersen latimes.com/environment/st…

This is so alarming. Important and mind-boggling investigation by @MelodyPetersen: latimes.com/business/story…
When you’re at the drug store does it seem like there are too few pharmacists and they’re overwhelmed? They are. @MelodyPetersen digs up the dangerous mistakes that’s causing. latimes.com/business/story…
Well this is terrible! @MelodyPetersen unearthed the ways that understaffing at major pharmacies (CVS, Walgreens, etc) has led to MILLIONS of people getting the wrong drugs just in California latimes.com/business/story…
It is in many ways exactly what you would expect to happen when a corporation automates crucial, skilled work to the bone, and it's horrifying that it's happening with something as vital as prescription medicine Great story from @MelodyPetersen
Coming up on @KTLA: If you get your meds from a California pharmacy, there's decent chance you're being sent home with the wrong pills (thanks to @MelodyPetersen for her solid reporting in the LA Times)
Disturbing! In California alone, pharmacies make an estimated 5 million errors every year - giving people the wrong, sometimes dangerous, medications. @MelodyPetersen latimes.com/business/story…
