Overkill : when modern medicine goes too far

Offit, Paul A. (author.).

Summary: Modern medicine has significantly advanced in the last few decades: more informed practices, thorough research, and incredible breakthroughs have made it possible to successfully treat and even eradicate many serious ailments. We now live 30 years longer than we did 100 years ago, but we still rely on medical interventions that are vastly out of date and can adversely affect our health. Offit debunks fifteen common medical interventions that have long been considered gospel despite mounting evidence of their adverse effects. By educating ourselves, we can bring a much-needed skepticism to drugs and surgeries that are heavily promoted, often to the patients' disadvantage. -- adapted from jacket
