Medicine in the United States is big business. We spend 50
percent more on health care per capita than other developed
countries, but a multitude of measures indicate that we are not
getting health-care value for our money. In Too Big to Succeed,
author Dr. Russell J. Andrews details why health care in America
has become more expensive but less effective and outlines a new
paradigm for health-care delivery.
Too Big to Succeed describes how American medicine is on an
unsustainable course: costs are increasing while benefits are
deteriorating in comparison with other developed nations. Beginning
with the Hippocratic Oath and the the premedical student, Andrews
traces the myriad ways in which the profit motive has infiltrated
American medicine--including medical school training, current
models of health-care delivery, medical professional societies,
medical research, and medical drug and device development.
Presenting an insider's look into the current crisis in health
care, Andrews demonstrates that until both the physician and the
patient return to the relationship that underlies medicine,
physicians will not experience the joy of healing those who seek
their help and patients will not appreciate that a good physician
is a permanent part of their lives.
