Abstract
In challenging one portion of the history presented in my article, Healy et al. argue that Louis Lasagna was a 'classical liberal' who sought only to increase the scientific stature of the physician--patient encounter. They advance this interpretation to encourage science and technology studies scholars to heed Lasagna's ideas about how to organize the medical marketplace. I argue that Healy et al. mischaracterize Lasagna's ideas. I conclude with an example of these ideas being put into practice, Lasagna's efforts on behalf of Wyeth in the approval and marketing of Redux and Fen-Phen.
