Otis Webb Brawley
Autore di How We Do Harm: A Doctor Breaks Ranks About Being Sick in America
Sull'Autore
Dr. Otis Webb Brawley is the chief medical and scientific officer of the American Cancer Society and an oncologist with a dazzling clinical, research, and policy career. In How We Do Harm, he pulls back the curtain on how medicine is really practiced in America: doctors who select treatment based mostra altro on payment they will receive, rather than on demonstrated scientific results; hospitals and pharmaceutical companies that seek out patients to treat even if they are not actually ill (but as long as their insurance will pay); a public primed to swallow the latest pill, no matter the cost; and rising health-care costs for unnecessary-and often unproven-treatments that we all pay for. A passionate view of medicine and the politics of illness in America with a deep understanding of health care today, How We Do Harm is a well-reasoned manifesto for change. mostra meno
