In Hippocrasy, two world-leading doctors - rheumatologist and
epidemiologist Rachelle Buchbinder and orthopaedic surgeon Ian
Harris - reveal the true state of modern medicine and how doctors
are letting their patients down. They argue that the benefits of
treatments are often wildly overstated and the harms understated.
That overtreatment and overdiagnosis are rife. And the medical
system is not fit for purpose: designed to deliver health care not
health. This powerful expose blows the lid off everything from
rampant overdiagnosis and overtreatment (revealing the tests, drugs
and treatment that provide no benefit for the patient), to the role
of Big Pharma and the inherent problem of a medical system based on
treating rather than preventing illness. The book also provides
tips to empower patients and solutions to help restructure how
medicine is delivered so doctors can live up to their Hippocratic
Oath.
