Description
This book argues that being ill is better for the healthcare system. Millions of people in Germany receive incorrect treatment, and this happens systematically. In preventive medicine and the treatment of serious illnesses, from cardiovascular disease and diabetes to cancer, unnecessary medicines and therapies are becoming increasingly common, often causing considerable harm through their side effects. Heidelberg physician Gunter Frank shows how greed, ideology and incompetence displace the principles of good medicine at various levels of healthcare. Patients pay the price through pain, suffering and, far too often, their lives. Although many doctors and nurses do everything they can, insidious mechanisms within the healthcare system allow bad medicine to become increasingly widespread. Instead of protecting people from misdiagnoses, harmful therapies and medicines, and inadequate preventive care, those working in medical universities and the pharmaceutical industry profit from the millions of cases of poor treatment.
