The Last Well Person by Nortin M Hadler

A controversial skewering of how doctors and the medical industry turn healthy people into patients.
"A brutal critique of much of what we do in medicine" New England Journal of Medicine "Like a veteran umpire, he calls 'em as he sees them. Much of what modern medicine advocates bears scrutiny, and Hadler examines it critically. Must reading for the public and for physicians." Journal of the American Medical Association "Hadler attempts to disabuse his readers of the pervasive and arguably mistaken belief that there is good evidence to support the broad application of such things as coronary artery bypass grafting for angina; cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood glucose monitoring; and screening for colon, breast, and prostate cancer." Canadian Medical Association Journal
Nortin M. Hadler is professor of Medicine and Microbiology/Immunology, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and attending rheumatologist, University of North Carolina Hospitals.
