Default ghost writing

The ethical problem is not one of obtaining assistance with one's medical writing from a medical writer--the problem was that the articles/studies were written by the pharmaceutical employees, spinning the results and conclusions to portray their product in the most positive way, whether warranted or not. then paying a consultant in the field of study in which the articles/studies were related to lend their names to the already penned articles. Taking "ghost writing " to a new low.
