KAMLOOPS – Dr. Alan Cassels, UVic health policy researcher, will deliver two talks next week on the subject of his recent book, Selling Sickness: How The World’s Biggest Pharmaceutical Companies Are Turning Us All Into Patients, co-authored with Australian journalist Ray Moynihan,
“Dr. Cassels was scheduled to give a lunch hour talk about his book at the Ministry of Health headquarters in Victoria last September, but just two days before the talk, the ministry cancelled the presentation,” explained TRU nursing instructor Penny Powers, adding, “Next Tuesday and Wednesday, Dr. Cassels will present what he would have presented to the Ministry of Health, had he been allowed to speak.”
Dr. Cassels’ Tuesday, March 6th talk will run from 1:30 to 3:30 pm in AE 212, while his Wednesday, March 7th talk is scheduled for 8:30 to 11:30am in the Alumni Theatre in the Clock Tower.
The public is welcome to attend either of these lectures, which will also be attended by TRU nursing and political science students and others of the TRU community.
