Ep 006 - Pharma Fast-Tracking

Why does the FDA allow "fast-tracking" of drugs? Shouldn't things be tested before they go on the market? After recent high-profile retractions, the FDA is making some changes to how they fast-track pharmaceuticals, and what they expect out of manufacturers if they want to keep that status.
The guys discuss research questioning whether common joint-pain solutions might be making things worse.

Also, What can be done to help a kids dealing with ulcerative colitis?
