Robert S. Mendelsohn - Confessions of a Medical Heretic

After 25 years as a practicing physician Dr. Mendelsohn became convinced that all was not well in medical wonderland. Inaccurate lab tests, the widespread excessive use of x-rays, conflicts of interest, too many unnecessary operations, the risk of catching a dangerous infection during a hospital stay and the rapid spread of epidemics in a hospital environment, the fact that doctors themselves as a group seem to be sicker than the rest of society, and the prescription of drugs that cause more problems than they cure, these are the cold hard facts which Dr. Mendelsohn deals with.

People who worked in the medical field used to be driven by compassion, but Dr. Mendelsohn observed that it had become like a mechanical process. There are scarcely, if ever, any boasts about saving lives anymore, but there is a lot of emphasis on the use of machines and how much money was taken in by the process. Also now some doctors' priorities are to make a patient's death easier rather than discovering new methods of treatment.
