A complex web of factors has created the phenomenon of
overdiagnosis: the popular media promotes fear of disease and
perpetuates the myth that early, aggressive treatment is always
best; in an attempt to avoid lawsuits, doctors have begun to leave
no test undone, no abnormality overlooked; and profits are being
made from screenings, medical procedures, and pharmaceuticals.
Revealing the social, medical, and economic ramifications of a
health-care system that overdiagnoses and overtreats patients, Dr.
H. Gilbert Welch makes a reasoned call for change that would save
us pain, worry, and money.
