***A Waterstones Best Books of 2022 pick*** 'David Haslam is
uniquely placed to reflect on how healthcare has lost its way, what
needs to be done to fix it and why all of us are responsible for
doing so... The importance and timeliness of his messages shines
through.' Dr Phil Hammond 'A fascinating and important book.' Dr
Amanda Brown With a single drug in the UK currently costing
GBP340,000 per patient per year, or a gene therapy in the USA being
costed at $1.2million, who should get such treatments, and how can
we begin to afford them? Should we all be entitled to timely mental
health therapy? How should we care for our old? As we grapple with
the world's worst pandemic for a century, our minds are on our
health more than ever. But what should we rightfully expect of
doctors? In this original and thought-provoking book, Sir David
Haslam explores what good healthcare should achieve and asks how we
pay for it. Informed by patient stories and data from across the
world - from US big pharma to Britain's NHS - this is an urgent and
often moving examination of our most important asset: our health.
