How We Do Harm

This eye-opening book exposes the truth about healthcare today - the over-treatment of the rich, the under-treatment of the poor, and the financial conflicts of interest that affect care. Dr. Otis Brawley, a medical and scientific officer, shares shocking stories of doctors selecting treatment based on payment, hospitals treating patients for profit, and rising healthcare costs for unnecessary treatments. Brawley calls for rational, scientifically justifiable treatments and offers a passionate view of the politics of illness in America. This is a well-reasoned manifesto for change.
