Trust in Me: Fraud and health

Posted by Staff on Thursday, October 10, 2024

By Karen Kier, Pharmacist
On behalf of the ONU HealthWise team

In 1967, Walt Disney released The Jungle Book movie based on Rudyard Kipling’s book. Robert and Richard Sherman wrote the song Trust in Me (The Python’s Song) for the movie release. Kaa, the snake, sings the song to Mowgli to hypnotize him and wrap his coils around him. He is stopped from hurting Mowgli by the tiger Shere Khan.

This part of the movie is a good example of who should we trust? The snake?

Unfortunately, there are some unscrupulous people and businesses in healthcare who should not be trusted. Deception can result in a significant risk to public health.
