The Trouble with Doctors: Fashions, motives and mistakes
The Distress with Doctors: Fashions, motives and mistakes Books
Product Description
What is incorrect with modern medicine? Why is it now increasingly criticized and derided? Surely medicine has never been more successful. Every year there seems to be more success, more progress. But there is also more distress. Doctors are no longer seen as the gods they once seemed to be. We are shocked, mad and appalled by the revelations and scandals of recent years; we are increasingly skeptical of doctors authority, and more willing to complain when mistakes occur. And yet it is also clear that many doctors, patients and members of the broadcast still cling to previously idealized beliefs as regards the medical profession. Incompetent, brutal or murderous doctors are dismissed as being just a few rotten apples in the barrel. The result is a mixed thought, and increasing confusion. Without condescending progress or the advances of medicine, Ann Dally throws light on the current difficulties by introducing a new, realistic and challenging perspective on progress . About the author Ann Dally was the first woman to study medicine at St Thomas Sickbay, London. As a doctor she was first a general practioner then a psychiatrist. After retiring, she studied for a doctorate at the Wellcome Trust Centre for the History of Medicine, and then became an Honorary Research Fellow to the Anatomy Dept of University College, London. This is her 13th published book: her titles include Women Below the Knife; Inventing Motherhood; and The Intelligent Person s Guide to Modern Medicine.
