PDF-(BOOS)-Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (H. Eugene and

At a time when access to health care in the United States is being widely debated Nortin Hadler argues that an even more important issue is being overlooked Although necessary health care should be available to all who need it he says the current healthcare debate assumes that everyone requires massive amounts of expensive care to stay healthy Hadler urges that before we commit to paying for whatever pharmaceutical companies and the medical establishment tell us we need American consumers need to adopt an attitude of skepticism and arm themselves with enough information to make some of their own decisions about what care is truly necessary Each chapter of Worried Sick is an object lesson regarding the uses and abuses of a particular type of treatment such as mammography colorectal screening statin drugs or coronary stents For consumers and medical professionals interested in understanding the scientific basis for Hadlers arguments each topical chapter has an accompanying source chapter in which Hadler discusses the medical literature and studies that inform his critique According to Hadler a major stumbling block to rational healthcare policy in the United States is contention over the very concept of what constitutes good health By learning to distinguish good medical advice from persuasive medical marketing consumers can make better decisions about their personal health and use that wisdom to inform their perspectives on healthpolicy issues.

In Subjected to Science, Susan Lederer provides the first full-length history of biomedical research with human subjects in the earlier period, from 1890 to 1940.Lederer offers detailed accounts of experiments—benign and otherwise—conducted on both healthy and unhealthy men, women, and children, including the yellow fever experiments (which ultimately became the subject of a Broadway play and Hollywood film), Udo Wile\'s dental drill experiments on insane patients, and Hideyo Noguchi\'s syphilis experiments, which involved injecting a number of healthy children and adults with the syphilis germ, luetin. From a nationally recognized expert, an expos? of the worst excesses of our zeal for medical testingGoing against the conventional wisdom reinforced by the medical establishment and Big Pharma that more screening is the best preventative medicine, Dr. Gilbert Welch builds a compelling counterargument that what we need are fewer, not more, diagnoses. Documenting the excesses of American medical practice that labels far too many of us as sick, Welch examines the social, ethical, and economic ramifications of a health-care system that unnecessarily diagnoses and treats patients, most of whom will not benefit from treatment, might be harmed by it, and would arguably be better off without screening.Drawing on twenty-five years of medical practice and research on the effects of medical testing, Welch explains in a straightforward, jargon-free style how the cutoffs for treating a person with abnormal test results have been drastically lowered just when technological advances have allowed us to see more and more abnormalities, many of which will pose fewer health complications than the procedures that ostensibly cure them. Citing studies that show that 10 percent of two thousand healthy people were found to have had silent strokes, and that well over half of men over age sixty have traces of prostate cancer but no impairment, Welch reveals overdiagnosis to be rampant for numerous conditions and diseases, including diabetes, high cholesterol, osteoporosis, gallstones, abdominal aortic aneuryisms, blood clots, as well as skin, prostate, breast, and lung cancers.With genetic and prenatal screening now common, patients are being diagnosed not with disease but with pre-disease or for being at high risk of developing disease. Revealing the economic and medical forces that contribute to overdiagnosis, Welch makes a reasoned call for change that would save us from countless unneeded surgeries, excessive worry, and exorbitant costs, all while maintaining a balanced view of both the potential benefits and harms of diagnosis. Drawing on data, clinical studies, and anecdotes from his own practice, Welch builds a solid, accessible case against the belief that more screening always improves health care.
