Summary In Hippocrasy, two world-leading doctors - a 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 over-treatment and over-diagnosis 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 over-diagnosis and over-treatment (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.
