Otis Webb Brawley
Autor von How We Do Harm: A Doctor Breaks Ranks About Being Sick in America
Über den Autor
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 mehr anzeigen 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. weniger anzeigen
