A Collection of Articles on Disease Mongering in PLoS Medicine

The International Conference on Disease-Mongering was held in Newcastle New South Wales, Australia on April 11th to 13th 2006. Highlights included a 'mockumentary' on 'motivational deficiency disorder', which was highly entertaining and very funny.

A large number of the papers presented at the conference are now freely available online, thanks to the online journal PLoS Medicine. PLoS Medicine is an open-access journal published by the nonprofit organization Public Library of Science.

You can even download the entire collection as a PDF.

Conferance DVDs will be available shortly, including one with the entire mockumentary.
