Abstract
A patient wants to know about symptoms she may have from a prescription drug she is taking. Consulting the label's “Adverse Reactions” section, she finds a wealth of data. Little does she realize that this information, largely collected during clinical trials, is based almost entirely on clinicians' impressions of patients' symptoms — not on patients' own firsthand reports of their experiences with the drug.Keywords
