About this product
Product Information
Medical science has always promised - and often delivered - a longer, better life. But as the pace of science accelerates, do our expectations become unreasonable, fueled by an industry bent on profits and a media desperate for big news? Hope or Hype is a taboo-shattering look at what drives the American obsession with medical ""miracles,"" exposing the equipment manufacturers and pharmaceuticalcompanies; doctors and hospitals too quick to order surgery; the politicians; the press; and our own ""technoconsumption"" mindset. The authors spread blame for the parade of so-called miracle cures that too often are marginally effective at best - and sometimes downright dangerous. They examine consumers' eager embrace of medical advances, and present riveting stories of the conscientious doctors and researchers who blew the whistle on ineffective treatments. Finally, they provide sane, practical recommendations for the adoption of new developments. The consequences of questionable practices include costly recalls, billions in wasted money, and the pain and suffering of innumerable patients and their families. In short, they must stop." "
